Pedigree Mum is a fantastic novel from
bestselling author Fiona Gibson.
Kerry and Rob have been happily married
for a number of years when they decide to move from London to the
coastal town of Shorling. Kerry is ecstatic and cannot wait for the
family to settle into their new home. However, out of the blue Rob
makes an enormous mistake that dramatically effects the family's
lives. Before she knows it, Kerry is struggling to look after the
children, hold down a job and put up with desperate pleas to get a
dog. Feeling sorry for the children, Kerry gives in and adopts a
lovely dog called Buddy.
I loved Kerry's character, she is
strong, determined and tries hard to get her life back on track.
There are also a number of characters and sub-plots woven into the
plot, which work really well. I particularly liked Harvey and found
Brigid to be quite amusing. The best character, however, has to be
Buddy the dog, he is very good at getting himself into awkward
situations and embarrassing Kerry.
I loved this book and did not want to
put it down. Gibson has created a strong story with believable
characters and filled it with lots of humour that had me laughing out
loud. There is a certain clown scene in the novel that I think is one
of the funniest scenes I have ever read!
5 stars
Thank you to Avon for sending me a copy
