Confessions of a Helicopter Mummy-Bruton-Review-Rom-Com-Available Now

I chose to read Confessions of a Helicopter Mummy by Catherine Bruton because it looked like a funny rom-com. While it does fall solidly in that category, what I am about to write is a different kind of review.

I’m not going to tell you why I liked or didn’t like the book. I am going to write about why I think other readers may enjoy it more than I did.

Let me be clear. I thought it was okay. And I learned a lot about myself and my likes and dislikes when it comes to reading material. So, for that, I am grateful to the author.

But I am absolutely 100 percent certain that other people will love this book and think it’s amazing. That’s okay. I honestly think that I am not the target audience for this book. And that’s okay too.

I found there to be too many characters and too many references to things that I actually have no frame of reference for. Frankly, I felt too old. And for me personally, the book was full of activity and information.

At times it actually felt frantic to me. But again, I’m here to tell you why other people will love this book.

Younger moms with teenagers will thrive on the numerous characters, character types, and lingo of the age. They’ll also love the situations the mummies find themselves in, and they’ll relate to the trials and tribulations of raising a teenager.

If they’re single moms (for whatever reason) they will completely relate to Anni and her dating escapades. They’ll understand the parallels between Cassie’s life and what is happening to Anni.

Most of all, they’ll enjoy the attitude that going with the flow can be cathartic, and not taking life so seriously can be healing. And they will completely relate to parenting in the digital age.

Great messages to be found in this cute rom-com by Catherine Bruton.
