Synopsis
Claudia is 35 years old and happily married--or so she thinks. Claudia doesn't want children, and when she got married she was pretty sure that her husband, Ben, didn't either. But now Ben has changed his mind, and the rift between them is fast becoming insurmountable. Claudia gets divorced, moves into a college friend's house, and starts the single life all over again--but when she hears that Ben has found someone else, she's not so sure she made the right decision. This novel is 30-something chick lit with a twist: all the witty banter and romantic quirks, but revolving around the issue of what life is like when you're sure you don't want kids.
Publisher's Note
Having agreed from the start of their relationship that they did not want children, Claudia and Ben find their previously idyllic marriage tested when Ben realizes that he wants to be a father after all.
Having agreed from the start of their relationship that they did not want children, Claudia and Ben find their previously idyllic marriage tested when Ben realizes that he wants to be a father after all. By the author ofSomething Borrowed and Something Blue. Simultaneous.
Industry Reviews
"Standard fare as far as chick lit goes, but there are strong subplots involving Claudia's sisters (one is coping with infertility, the other with a cheating spouse) and the childless-by-choice plot line produces above-average tension."

Publisher's Note
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.

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.
This is the story about what happens to the perfect couple when they have to face the toughest decision either of them has ever had to make.What is the most important thing in life: children or love? Emily Giffin is a sensation—a master at exploring impossible dilemmas with humor, sensitivity and depth. Baby Proof will satisfy the hundreds of thousands of fans who have already read her books, and create legions more.
