Mum's Big Break by Louise Emma Clarke



Today is my stop on the Blog tour for this fun and witty new release from Louise Emma Clarke. Thank you to Aria Fiction for inviting me to join the tour, and for my copy of the ebook in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. 




Book Description

Life in the spotlight was never going to be easy... 

Jess's life was turned upside down when her blog went viral. Now, with hundreds of thousands of followers, Jess is now navigating the trials and tribulations of a world online. 
Being a mummy blogger was originally an escape, but now it seems to be turning into a career. And after one wrong post on her social media channels, Jess discovers that life in the spotlight isn't always peachy. 
With a new baby on the way, the possibility of starring in a reality TV show and a husband who's struggling with his wife's new-found fame, Jess has a lot going on. 
Jess needs to decide whether this is everything she wanted it to be or whether this is all a bit too much for her? Can Jess persevere against the haters, rise up above the pettiness and find the perfect balance of life in the real world and life online? 
Perfect for fans of Suzy K Quinn, Fiona Gibson and Gill Simms.





My Review
This is such a fun and honest read that I loved from beginning to end, and did not want to put it down. 
Jess's life has changed so much since she got thrust into the limelight after starting up a hugely successful blog about the letters she was writing to her bump and then her newborn baby. It originally was her way of learning how to become a mum and escape real life for a while. It has now become a career choice for her and she is really enjoying it. 
Now with a second baby on the way and her Blog continuing to increase the offers she is receiving are getting better, after making a small mistake with her Blog Jess begins to feel that maybe having a an agent will help her make better decisions, and to help her career get bigger. 
With having an agent the offers become bigger and Jess is even offered the chance to be a tv star. This is something that Jess cannot turn down even if her husband does not agree. 
With her pregnancy progressing and the events she is being invited to Jess is really enjoying the life she created for herself. Jess enjoys all of the events with her fellow bloggers, except for bumping into Tiggy, she is a rival blogger that Jess has never got along with. 
With this pregnancy flying by this book follows all of the ups and downs that Jess has to deal with. She has a great group of friends who help her along this fun filled journey often with hilarious results. 
I absolutely adored this book and did not want it to end. This is the second instalment from the life of Jess but it can also be read as a standalone read. 
The writing style of this book is fun, witty and really engaging. I enjoyed getting to know Jess and the life she has created for herself and family. The group friends she has around her sound amazing and its great to read how much they all support each other when things become difficult. They are also there for the fun times too,  which will really make you laugh out loud. 
You do get a good insight into just how much being a blogger involves, the time it takes up and how easy it is to make a small mistake too. 
I really hope that there is another release from Louise Emma Clarke showing us how Jess and her family are getting on with the new addition as I would love to read more.
