Overall this was a fun little book to read. Since it is a collection of different authors there are some stories that will probably be enjoyed more than others. Not a brain teaser sort of book, but fluff reading in the bath or by a fire.

Another Chicken Soup book. Some stories were heartfelt and some just seemed sappy. Easy read as you are waiting for your baby to come!

Love this series. This book started it off so it is a must read. You'll understand the subsequent books just fine without it, but it's a good introduction to your leading lady.

I read an article by this author and was inspired to read her novel work. I read How to Meet Cute Boys first and thought that it was ok. However, I was much more fond of this book. The characters and plot line had more substance and I found it a lot harder to put down. Really enjoyed it.

I liked this book because even though it was classic chic lit, it diverted from some of the cliche's. Don't get me wrong, there are still a lot of them in there, but there were a few different story lines going on and everything wasn't always as predictable as expected which was really nice. I still never fell in love with the main character (she seemed to just let life happen TO her) but it was a fun fluff read.


The Girlfriends' Guide to Pregnancy Or Everything Your Doctor Won't Tell You
Review Date: 10/14/2009
Helpful Score: 1


Hysterical. It's a good mood lifted after reading a ton of more medical type books on pregnancy. Real, an irreverent the author tells you like it is and you learn some refreshing truths that others may be too embarrassed to tell you. Recommend it to all preggers. An older version doesn't seem to matter much either since the book is largely experiential and not scientific.
