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.

Fun read! Great to see the main character evolve through the course of the book. ( )

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. ( )
