Book Review of Baby Proof

Baby Proof
Baby Proof
Author: Emily Giffin
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


This particular issue is a hot-button one for me and I was looking forward to a book where I could relate to the main character, since my husband and I are happily child-free. I wanted to read about a woman who realizes that there is more to life than procreation, and enjoy a story where a marriage isn't defined by the mini-mes that come along. The first 1/3 of the book I truly enjoyed; after that it falls apart until "Claudia" is moping around mired in half-hearted hook-ups and constant second-guesses. Yet another book where women are defined by their uterus. No thanks.
