This was a quick read. This family has so much love for each other. You will like the characters. At the end of each undemanding day, Patty goes home to an empty apartment and listens to her biological clock ticking. Patty wants a husband and a baby, and not necessarily in that order....But Patty has a problem. Try as she might, there is only one man she can love...her best friend, Ethan---and try as Ethan might, he is quite firmly and intractably gay. With rueful good humor, this book shows how Patty and Ethan come to terms with the impossibility of having it all.
