Single motherhood has never been so much fun. Annie Baker's got it made-an idyllic life in the country, a part-time job in town as a freelance film producer, and a boy who's crazy about her. The only problem is, he's six years old. Featuring Annie as its frazzled but tireless heroine, Gil McNeil's endearing first novel turns chaos to poetry. Annie doesn't remember what it feels like to be pulled in any less than seven directions at once, but that's the beauty of her life. It seems like everywhere she turns there's a crisis in the making and a man who needs fussing over--whether it's her son, Charlie, who will only eat sausages for breakfast; her high-maintenance director-boss Barney, who's constantly being attacked by his own espresso maker; the crew on her ad shoots, whose work ethics are controlled exclusively by their stomachs; or her work nemesis, Lawrence, who's simply out to get her fired. And then she meets Mack... Funny, heartbreaking, truthful, and romantic, The Only Boy for Me is a stunning debut.

a really fun read.never a dull moment.once you read the first page you'll not want to put it down .about a single mum with a little boy ,who steals the show really! laugh out loud at things you can relate to in everyday life,and thought you were the only one who muddled through life with the odd cringe and disaster along the way especially if youve got kids.had to get another gil mcneil book straight away!
