    Product description

    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.

    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."

    Good book

    Created: 04/01/07
    If only I had any idea about the witty charms of this eggy colored novel, I would have read it a long time ago. Baby Proof caught me completely off guard with non stop excitement of Claudia and Ben's relationship, her family and her decision not to have a baby that led to trouble in paradise. The characters were simply darling, fleshed out to perfection and they made my heart ache when setbacks and divorce appeared on the horizon. This is definitely a girl's book, and not even comparable to chick lit, something that sounds empty and airy to me, but a rich goulash of love, romance, betrayal, insanely addictive humor and life's lessons learned right before my eyes.
    Prepare yourself for a very godd time.

    Baby proof is one of the best love stories I have read in quite some time. Two others were Something Borrowed and Something Blue, also by Giffin. I do believe that Emily Giffin has just become one of my favorite writers! You think you know the ending and sure enough, it surprises you. I would highly recommend this book, along with the other two previously mentioned, to anyone who enjoys a good love story!

    I liked this book about a gal who is insistent upon not having children. Its light reading, but has some true feelings in it. Now, I dont agree with this gal's feelings or thoughts, but tha's not the point of the book review! The book is pretty good to read, and worth the purchase.
