Publication Information
Claudia and Ben
are the perfect couple. Ever since their
first date, when they both admitted they
had no desire for children, their
courtship and marriage seemed destined.
Their relationship is about freedom,
possibility and exploration. About being
together because they want to be
together. Not because children are
caging them with eighteen years of
obligation. But then Ben changes his
mind: He does want children, after all.
"Standard fare as far as chick lit goes,
but there are strong subplots...
produc[ing] above-average tension." - PW
"A fast-paced and interesting look at
the various ways women view motherhood
and pregnancy" - Library Journal
"Giffin once again proves she's one
of the best chick-lit writers in this
thoughtful, layered, and wholly original
story of a woman facing a major choice
in her life." - Booklist.
