Book Description:
Jane Taylor is pregnant. Only, not in the conventional sense. It all began when Jane missed her period. Whether it was the clouds in the sky or a major case of pregnancy envy (this year's concern), Jane doesn't know. She only knows that she told her best male friend, and began to believe it. Until she got her period and realized she never was. Pregnant. But that brief glimpse into the other world -- the world of smiling faces and courteous men -- was just too beautiful not to be a part of . . .and so Jane told a little white lie to her live-in boyfriend, and crossed the line. With the help of a pink Magic Marker she closed the gap that separated her from the positively perfect pregos. Enter Jane's world, one of deception and success, Mr. Wrong and Mr. Right, Nutrition Police and tilted uteruses, baby showers and celebrity obstetricians. As Jane spins closer to her due date, she's got a lot of soul-searching to do -- not to mention an appointment with reality . . .

Wow. What an unusual read. Jane is an easy character to hate. She says and does things that are unbelievable and sometimes unrealistic. However, by the end, I didn't hate her. I'm not sure I particularly liked her either, but I no longer hated her. This book can be hard to stick with, but it was interesting enough for me to add the sequel to my wish list.

I thought this book was hysterical! Typical chick lit...I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Christina B. (I couldn't get into this book. It was all too silly and unrealistic. I stuck with it for about 100 pages and then skipped to the last 10 pages to see how it all ended.
Jennifer F. (I felt as some others did, that this story really didn't seem plausible. It didn't pull me in as much as other chick-lit books do because the story seemed a little too out there. I couldn't believe that the main character would go to such great lengths to keep up the pregnancy lie. The end left me thinking about reading the sequel enough to read the excerpt, but I don't think this would be a storyline I will give another try.
Baratz-Logsted looks at a new angle of singledom: pregnancy. Jane Taylor, an assistant editor at a prestigious London publishing house, is sure she is pregnant, and she couldn't be happier: now she can finally wrangle that proposal out of her boyfriend, Trevor, and keep up with her older sister, Sophie, who is both married and expecting her first child. But when Jane learns she actually isn't pregnant, she isn't willing to give up her fantasy, so she plays along, figuring that sooner or later she will get pregnant, and no harm will be done. Not so. When Trevor discovers her deception, he leaves her without looking back. Jane still doesn't want to tell her friends and family the truth, and when a fellow editor suggests that she turn her deception into a book, Jane suddenly has a chance to realize her dream of being a writer.
I liked this book. It was a good read. OK for chiklit.
I could not really get intrested in the book until almost the end. Book was confusing. Jumped around. Main charachter was an awful distubed person. I am intrested in the sequel to see how people react to all her lies
While this was a slightly entertaining read, I thought that Jane, the main character, was more self-centered and annoying than any character I've ever met in a book. The plot had holes, and I found the writer's style to be somewhat "off". However, I know that there are a lot of stunning reviews on this book, so this is just my .02.
Sort of weird but somehow funny and endearing story of a woman who fakes her own pregnancy, first to receive the wonderful treatment she observes pregnant women getting, and later as research for the book she intends to write about a woman faking a pregnancy for an entire nine months.
Okay, this is one unlikeable character. Jane Taylor is conniving and an idiot, a deadly combination. I won't say I hated the book, that's too extreme, but I didn't have the same fun with it that I usually do with a chick lit.
