Welcome to the world of a new mum.
My life has been a rollercoaster so far. I met my Mr Oh-you'll-do, turned bridezilla whilst planning my big fat Bangladeshi wedding, relocated to a new city and navigated life as a career woman and wife. Now, armed with the help of my parenting books, this next stage should be a cinch. At least that's what the books say...
The latest in the award winning Diverse Romcom series sees our brown Bridget Jones face her biggest life change yet, becoming a mum. As she embarks on this next chapter, can she keep her marriage, sanity and identity intact?
This novel tells you what others won't... what it's really like to be a new mum. The unputdownable story from former-journalist Halima Khatun tackles race, identity, and belonging as the protagonist marries modernity with the motherland. You'll laugh and cry.
About the author
Halima Khatun is a former journalist (having worked for ITV and the BBC), writer and PR consultant.
Since she was a child, she knew that words would be her thing. With a lifelong passion for writing, Halima wrote her first novel - a coming-of-age children's story - at the age of 12. It was politely turned down by all the major publishing houses. However, proving that writing was indeed her forte, Halima went on to study English and Journalism and was one of just four people in the UK to be granted a BBC scholarship during her postgraduate studies.
She has since written for a number of publications including the HuffPost and Yahoo! Style, and has been featured in the Express, Metro and other national publications. Halima also blogs on lifestyle, food and travel and parenthood on halimabobs.com. This is where she also shares updates on her novels.
