"Baby Proof" by Emily Giffin


From what is revealed on the back cover, this book is about a woman who desperately wants a child-free life.  She falls in love with a man who feels the same way, but one of them has a change of heart.  What will happen next?!?! This sounds boring, cliché and I honestly only read the book because I had good luck with this author in the past.  However, I was pleasantly surprised throughout the entire novel and could not predict what was going to happen next.  Honestly.

Besides unpredictability, like all of Giffin’s novels, the characters are realistically flawed.  From the leading lady to the minor supporting roles, no one is cookie cutter perfect.  They are also very relatable and whether you’re male or female; you will likely be shockingly similar to at least one character.   

To keep this book intriguing, I will shut up; but not without officially recommending it to anyone looking for a light read. If you enjoy this book, I would also suggest reading her other novels, Something Borrowed and its sequel Something Blue.
