I received my copy of I’ll Take What She Has, from the publisher, Random House, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.ġ/5 I’m not the right audience for this book. If you’re happy, why do you care what others do or think? Which is why I’m fairly sure that Wilde has some unresolved issues about the stay-at-home or go-back-to-work decision. If there’s one thing I’ve learnt through being a parent it’s this: the more another parent bangs on about how fabulous something is, the more they’re trying to justify their decision. Plots need a villain but I get the impression that Wilde has an axe to grind* and she’s doing it through this story. I know this is a standard trope for chick-lit but the plot of Samantha Wilde’s I’ll Take What She Has is predictable and, quite frankly, irritating. Or rather, there are reasons why the other two may hate her. The third woman has things the other two want. Take two women – one wanting a baby and one a stay-at-home-mum – they’ve been best friends for more than twenty years.
