Customer Reviews

I loved this whole series

This series had me hooked right from the first book. The characters were endearing and funny, the story line was great, and I have to admit I can relate to the slightly neurotic main character. It's a funny entertaining book about becoming/trying to become a family.

Not as good as the first but still a winner!

In Sinead Moriarty's follow up to 'THE BABY TRAIL' Emma and James, a couple who have tried for years to have a baby with no success have decided to adopt. Going the international route they decide to adopt a Russian child, but deciding on what country to adopt from is the easiest part of this process! Emma and James go through extensive background checks, parenting classes and a wait list the size of Russia itself all to get the child that they have dreamed about but will this child be the right fit for Emma and James? I thoroughly enjoyed 'THE BABY TRAIL' because Moriarty's depiction of a woman struggling to get pregnant seemed very truthful and there were no easy answers at the end. In 'THE RIGHT FIT' however, the same determination that Emma had to conceive a child in 'THE BABY TRAIL' seemed a bit over the top in 'THE RIGHT FIT' and the ending seemed a little too neat and predictable for my taste. However, the secondary characters are just as lovable and the story of Emma's best friend Lucy and new boyfriend Donal is once again a real treat. Can't wait to read the third book in this series 'FROM HERE TO MATERNITY'!

The right book

It is best if you read this book after the first in the three part series. I enjoyed it. I hate ruining the storyline so I will just say that I LOL through most of the book. Do yourself a favour and try it.

A good follow-up

James and Emma have gone though two years of trying to have a baby with no sucess, So they decided to adopt. What seem likes any thing to do is in fact very hard. From the social workers, to classes James and Emma find themshelves now on a different treadmill in their quest in having a family. "The Right Fit" by Sinead Moriarty is the follow up to her first book "The Baby Trail." While it was was good it did seem to lack some of the charm of the first book.
