Baby Proof
Emily Griffin
A novel that explores the question: Is there ever a deal-breaker when it comes to true love?
Claudia Parr has everything going for her. A successful editor at a publishing house in Manhattan, she's also a devoted sister, aunt, and friend. Yet she's never wanted to become a mother??which she discovers is a major hurdle to marriage, something she desperately wants. Then she meets her soul mate Ben who, miraculously, feels the same way about parenthood. The two fall in love and marry, committed to one another and their life of adventure and discovery. All's well until one of them has a change of heart. Someone wants a baby after all.
This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things and there is no compromise. It's about deciding what is most important in life and wagering everything to get it. And most of all, it's about the things we will??and won't??do for l

    Ask Again Later di Jill A. Davis (Katymelrose)
    Katymelrose: both chick lit, kind of coming of age stories about 30(ish) year old women. Ask Again Later has less story but is funnier than Baby Proof.

This book was.....eh. It was an easy read but after reading two of her other books, I anticipated more out of this one. ( )

Claudia and Ben are soul mates; but after only 3 yrs of marriage, they divorce because he changed his mind about wanting children. Thus, begins their introspection into what is important enough to lose a soul mate.

Primero llega el amor. Después, el matrimonio. Y luego... ¿la maternidad? ¿No es esto lo que todas las mujeres desean? Desde luego no Claudia Parr, y justo cuando ya ha desesperado de encontrar a un hombre que piense lo mismo conoce al cálido, maravilloso Ben. Las cosas parecen demasiado buenas para ser ciertas: se han enamorado y han decidido romper con la tradición de «no hay matrimonio que sobreviva sin hijos, eso en el caso de que sobreviva». Pero entonces lo inesperado sucede: uno de ellos ha cambiado de opinión. Uno de ellos, después de todo, quiere tener hijos... A prueba de bomba habla sobre lo que ocurre en la pareja perfecta cuando ambos dejan de querer lo mismo. Sobre estar se

“There are no absolutes in relationships. You can't take anything for granted. You can count on absolutely nothing but the unexpected. You only get in trouble when you start thinking that you're some kind of exception to the rule.”
― Emily Giffin, Baby Proof

I chose this because the premise seemed interesting. I too chose not to have children as did many of my friends. So I wanted to read this and I had already read the "Something Borrowed" series.

While not quite up to that level, I did enjoy this book about choices and the ramifications of the ones we make. I thought the book was quite realistic.

As a woman myself, I cannot even say how many times that same question has been asked.."don't you want kids" and it has been asked to many of my friends who are childless too. It does get annoying and I could relate to the heroine.

I also was reading this while in the waiting room at a doctor's office. The receptionist saw what I was reading, (I'd just started) and said to me, "you are going to love this book"! We then talked about the book a bit. She was a major fan. That was pretty cool.

SPOILERS:

I did not have any issues with the ending at all. The book went pretty much like I'd have predicted and it moved at a brisk fresh pace. Baby Proof was a pretty good read anmd an interesting one at that. Highly recommended. ( )
