Darling summer read. If you are approaching 40 and in love with a man who doesn't want children, is it better to stay and hope someday he will come around or to dump him and go for a sperm donor? Is it braveery or fear of what you will miss? I couldn't put this one down, although I can't say that it expanded my mind in any way!

This was a decent read, nothing eart shattering, but an ok way to pass the time. It will be interesting to see if there is a sequel. Funny how often chick lit is set up to have a followup book...

Funny, touching book about a woman who is hearing her baby clock ticking LOUDLY, but is dating (and in love with) a man who can't commit. Great exploration of her relationship with her sister and niece as well as how the two of them relate to their mother. Not too deep, not too teary- just a great fun read with a little substance set against a fashion industry backdrop.

Story of a woman who decides she is ready to have a baby and just that desire complicates her world. Started off great, but kind of fizzled out toward the end.
