I really like this book! I fell in love with the main character, Claudia she is so real and dramatic. This book is about a "perfect" marriage until one partner decided they want a baby after they had both decided they were never going to have children. The characters are very memorable and likeable!

Ben and Claudia quickly knew they were soulmates - they could talk for hours, enjoyed each other's jokes and company, and, oh yes, neither one ever wanted children. A match made in heaven until one mind is changed about that baby thing...
Really a very nice study of love, of sacrifice, and of family. I'd recommend it to anyone, even if they typically do not care for chick lit.

I was a little disappointed at first because I thought it was a continuation of "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue". But, once I got over that initial disappointment, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Another great read from Emily Giffin.

Boring. I liked her first two books but this one did nothing for me. I could not relate to or like any of the characters. Claudia got on my nerves and I was not even rooting for her near the end! That is a sign of poor character development.

This is a great book!! It is a very easy read. You will become invested in the characters and not want to put this book down!!

I recently read Giffin's other books and I think I enjoyed this one the most. I read it in just a few days. I agree that it is great, even for people who don't typically like chick lit.

I loved her first two books--I didn't enjoy this one as much, probably because I didn't feel the same connection to this couple as in her other books.

Meh. Another Candace Bushnell-type novel. This one's about Claudia, a career- and self-absorbed New Yorker, name-dropping the trendy NYC restaurants and shoe brands. Claudia's sisters and best friend were more interesting than her and their subplots were what kept me reading the book. And the Hollywood movie ending seemed unrealistic.

Claudia and Ben are the perfect couple. Successful and happily married they have decided that they don't wish to have children. Things go awry when one of this happy twosome realizes that maybe they do want children after all.
What happens to a couple who make a commitment to each other and one has a change of heart makes for an interesting look at the changes we are and aren't willing to make for love. Without getting to sentimental or strident on either side of the question Giffen presents a funny, poignant and believable look at what makes us choose our paths, and how we rationalize our choices.

All she did was whine about how she didnt want a baby. Disappointing!
