The Birds and The Bees by Milly Johnson Review

The Birds and The Bees Review

Hey everyone, 

I'm back with another review of a really good book that I read recently which is The Birds and The Bees by Milly Johnson.

The back of this book says: 

Romance writer and single mum Stevie Honeywell has only weeks to go to her wedding when her fiancé Matthew runs off with her glamorous new friend Jo MacLean. It feels like history repeating itself for Stevie, but this time she is determined to win back her man. She isn't going to act as he might expect. She isn't going to wail and dig her heels in, she is simply going to pretend to let him go whilst she pursues a mad course of dieting, exercising and self-improvement.

And it feels like history is repeating itself for Adam MacLean too, who is also determined to win his lady, Jo, back with the same basic psychological tactics. Then he is going to initiate his master plan: Getting together with Stevie to drive Jo wild with jealousy. 
So, like the Scottish country jig 'The Birds and the Bees', the couples all 
change partners and learn some revealing truths about each other along the way. But what happens when Adam's master plan actually starts to work? And just who will Stevie be dancing with when the music stops?

To be honest I was mostly interested in this book because Milly Johnson is my favourite author of all time. However because it doesn't match the other covers of all of her other books i'd kind of pushed it to the side for way too long, the only reason that I bought this cover is because it was selling really cheap in the Works. The cover aside the story is a really good one and the ending panned out exactly the way I wanted it to as with most of Milly Johnson's books.

PLOT:

The story starts off with us immediately meeting Stevie and Adam when Adam arrives at her house to announce that his wife and Stevie's fiance are having an affair. When Stevie and Adam inevitably lose their partners they will do anything that it takes to win them back creating an elaborate plan to lure them back in. We see all different sides of every character which I loved and how they all see each other compared to how they actually are..

CHARACTERS:

Stevie: Stevie is our main character, she is a mother to 4 year old Danny and is in love with her fiance Matthew, this is before she finds out about his affair with a mutual friend of the couple, Jo. In terms of personality I love Stevie, she is a brilliant mother and always thinks of her child first and foremost and she is just really likable.

Adam: Adam is a big guy, with his ginger hair an rough Scottish accent he really is a lump of a man, and from what we have heard he likes to throw his weight around but is he really like the way he is portrayed?

Jo: Jo works with Matthew and embarks on an affair with him behind the backs of bother her husband Adam and Matthew's fiance Stevie. But what exactly is Jo hiding behind the mask of the victim?

Matthew: Matthew seems to be unsettled in his life with Stevie especially when Jo comes into his life with her story of how her previous relationship has turned sour.

All in all this is another really good little book by Milly Johnson and is something that anyone who has read any of her other books because this is another really good one.
