Editorial Review:

Product Description:
From the author of the smash hits Something Borrowed and Something Blue comes a novel that explores the question: is there ever a deal-breaker when it comes to true love?
First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes . . . a baby carriage? Isn’t that what all women want?

Not so for Claudia Parr. And just as she gives up on finding a man who feels the same way, she meets warm, wonderful Ben. Things seem too good to be true when they fall in love and agree to buck tradition with a satisfying, child-free marriage. Then the unexpected occurs: one of them has a change of heart. One of them wants children after all.

This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things. It’s about feeling that your life is set and then realizing that nothing is as you thought it was--and that there is no possible compromise. It’s about deciding what is most important in life, and taking chances to get it. But most of all, it’s about the things we will do--and won’t do--for love.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Promises Made, Promises Broken
Claudia Parr has decided she does not want children. Her hopes of finding someone that felt the same seem slim. That is, until she meets Ben. He feels the same way and now things are perfect. They fall in love and get married. Happily ever after, right?? NOT. Claudia and Ben's closest friends become pregnant. And now Ben changes their minds. Now everything is completely off balance. Claudia feels betrayed. And she insists that she will never have a child.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fascinating book
I really loved this book and was fascinated by the topic. No, not the baby topic (though I thought it was very well drawn out with Claudia, her sisters and Jess), but the idea of what would be a non-negotiable issue in an otherwise wonderful relationship. Giffin is a smart writer and makes the book entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time. Also, really loved the ending. I love that some questions are answered, but that some are also left open. Makes it more authentic.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Somewhat Disappointed...
I've read Emily Giffin's two other novels (Something Borrowed/Something Blue) and I have to say that this one was not as enticing compared to the other two. The book didn't keep my attention like the other novels, I think because the ending was too predictable. In the middle of the book I already knew the outcome and I felt like I was forcing myself to finish the book to the no surprise ending.

Maybe this book was dull because her other books referenced to each other, however this ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Author cannot write a believable childfree woman at all
Baby Proof is a fake childfree book written by a parent trying to impersonate the childfree voice, and she gets it all wrong.

**SPOILERS AHEAD**

Claudia, the main character, is like a background player in her own novel. I kept wondering why, in a book about a nominally childfree-by-choice woman, so much time was given to X, Y, or Z mommy or mommy-wannabe of the protagonist's acquaintance. She had no interests of her own besides her job; most of the time it felt like she was ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Insightful and Fun - Addresses an Often Untalked about Topic
This was a great book! It was funny, smart, and insightful. It tackled an often untalked about topic - making a choice to not have children. So often in our society, women who choose not to have children are labeled as selfish and uncaring. Honestly, if you think about some of the reasons that people have children, they are quite selfish. To decide not to have children in a world that expects nothing less requires someone has who has insight and a strong enough sense of self.
