Emma (SCR)'s Review of No-One Ever Has Sex in the Suburbs?

by Tracy Bloom

Ben is still desperately trying to forget that Katy had a one-night stand just before she announced she was pregnant. Nine months later a new baby explodes into their lives creating utter chaos. As a lack of sleep, a lack of trust and a lack of...sex! wreaks havoc upon their lives, it seems like there is no returning to the way they were. That is until Ben comes up with the answer to get them back on track. A role swap! But being a stay-at-home dad isn't as simple as it seems, in fact it's a disaster. Help comes when Ben least expects it and arrives, in the most unlikely form, of the wife of Katy's ex-lover. Should Ben tell Katy about his secret rescuer or is it his turn to keep a secret...? Can any relationship survive NO SEX, endless lies and conversations about nappy rash?

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews After reading No-one Ever Has Sex on a Tuesday I immediately picked up this book. It kicks off right where the previous book left off with baby Millie just being born.

If you thought that the first book was funny wait until you read this one. It had me in tears of laughter. I absolutely love Ben and Braindead's relationship. The conversations that they have in this book will have you laughing so loud. The coffee shop scene has to be my favourite part of the book.

With Katy back at work, Ben had opted to be a stay at home dad. He thinks it will be a doddle. He gets to sit at home and watch day time TV with his little girl who is nothing but happy around him. By the end of the first day Ben realises that this is anything but easy.

The story is again very easy to relate to. I don't have any children myself but I know friends that do and I have a few nephews and a niece so the story line wasn't alien to me. I raced through this one in a day. I literally couldn't put it down. I just kept turning and turning and then all of a sudden I couldn't believe I was at the end. I gave myself a bathroom break and picked up my ARC copy of No-one Ever has Sex on Christmas Day.
