I read this one quickly and found it somewhat of a roller coaster of enjoying, then getting super annoyed, then enjoying again.

Part of it was my own issues with knowing too much about the Philadelphia references and being irked by some of them (like I doubt there are many kids from Somerton who bother to drive all the way to the Mann Music Center to make out) and part of it is the same issue I've had with Jennifer Weiner's last few books: I feel like she's trying too hard to be clever and funny.

I LOVED her first few novels but the characters in these last few seem less developed than others and I feel like maybe she's just writing these books too quickly and they aren't getting the full measure of her storytelling skill. Oh, and while I don't have a problem with sex scenes in books, most of the ones in this book made me think "oh gross" more than "oh wow".

Bottom line, I didn't hate it but I didn't like it as much as I wanted to. ( )

I particularly liked the way Weiner told the story from four different points of view. All of the women were real, three dimensional characters. I was a little disappointed by her last couple of books, so I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed this. ( )

Good story, a lot of characters to keep straight, excellent narration, but way too much sexual detail. I love audio books, hate ear phones (they don’t seem to work with my ears) and it’s very distracting to hear graphic details when others are around. Please Jennifer! We have imaginations, we don’t need such explicitness.

An unexpected love story…

FROM INFRO.FM: Jules Strauss is a Princeton senior with a full scholarship, acquaintances instead of friends, and a family she's ashamed to invite to Parents' Weekend. With the income she'll receive from donating her "pedigree" eggs, she believes she can save her father from addiction.

Annie Barrow married her high school sweetheart and became the mother to two boys. After years of staying at home and struggling to support four people on her husband's salary, she thinks she's found a way to recover a sense of purpose and bring in some extra cash.

India Bishop, thirty-eight (really forty-three), has changed everything about herself: her name, her face, her past. In New York City, she falls for a wealthy older man, Marcus Croft, and decides a baby will ensure a happy ending. When her attempts at pregnancy fail, she turns to technology, and Annie and Jules, to help make her dreams come true.

But each of their plans is thrown into disarray when Marcus' daughter Bettina, intent on protecting her father, becomes convinced that his new wife is not what she seems.…

With startling tenderness and laugh-out-loud humor, Jennifer Weiner once again takes readers into the heart of women's lives in an unforgettable, timely tale that interweaves themes of class and entitlement, surrogacy and donorship, the rights of a parent and the measure of motherhood. ( )
