This book was also hilarious! This is her 2nd book in this series and I can't wait for the next one!!
Love diary style books. They are a fast read because there are no chapters. Amy becomes pregnant and is her usual mad self that started in "Diary of a Mad Bride". She starts a new job because the magazine she worked for folded, married for 2 years happily and hanging around the same friends; she decides she wants to have a child. She's making list and checking them off as she goes and driving everyone around her nuts makes this book. Sometimes funny and at other times very poignant.
I don't know if it is my dislike of children, but this book wasn't nearly as funny as the first. It was still amusing but it did not top Diary of a Mad Bride in my opinion.

This book is hilarious. I dragged through Diary of a Mad Bride, but this was a million times better. Very, very funny.

Just as funny as its predecessor, Diary of a Mad Bride, though I felt that this one rang a little more true than the first one. Both were quite funny, very enjoyable reads.
Sequel to Diary of a Mad Bride. Must read the first book to grasp this book (although it's not hard to jump in). Wonderfully funny!

Amy Thomas is back! This time she has taken it upon herself to obsess about her pregnancy. She goes through one misadventure after another as she realizes that her birth date's looming and she hasn't achieved the tasks at hand on her 63-item To Do List. To make matters worse, she's lost her job, owns a rather small apartment and her husband finds it difficult to deal with her neurotic manner. She begins to wonder whether having a child was a good idea after all...
This novel is hilarious! Amy's one of the most neurotic characters ever written. Just when I thought she couldn't be more insubordinate in Diary of a Mad Bride, her obsessive behavior reaches outrageous and laugh out loud proportions in the second novel. Laura Wolf is a great writer, not unlike Sophie Kinsella -- author of Confessions of a Shopaholic. Their writing styles are quite similar.
Diary of a Mad Mom-to-Be is a great summer reading investment. Highly recommended...
Funny follow up to her first one. Perfect for those TTC or pregnant. Quick, fun read.
