Publisher Description
Baby Proof Emily Griffin An audio novel that explores the question: Is there ever a deal-breaker when it comes to true love? Claudia Parr has everything going for her. A successful editor at a publishing house in Manhattan, she's also a devoted sister, aunt, and friend. Yet she's never wanted to become a mother--which she discovers is a major hurdle to marriage, something she desperately wants. Then she meets her soul mate Ben who, miraculously, feels the same way about parenthood. The two fall in love and marry, committed to one another and their life of adventure and discovery. All's well until one of them has a change of heart. Someone wants a baby after all. This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things and there is no compromise. It's about deciding what is most important in life and wagering everything to get it. And most of all, it's about the things we will--and won't--do for love.

"I liked this book. I had previously read her books Something Borrowed and Something Blue I liked both of those very much so I decided to pick this one up. I liked this book alot, it did seem to drag a little in the middle but overall i enjoyed it. there was one character that I didn't like very much and that was Richard he just rubbed me the wrong way but other that the characters were ok."

Quotes

“The youthful voice of Cynthia Nixon, an Emmy winner for her role in Sex and the City, effortlessly conveys complex emotions. Her character voices are easy to follow. Because the themes invite discussion, this is a ‘chick' book that both hens and roosters might enjoy together.

Smart, snappy chicklit that's sure to provoke discussion.

" Fun book, but I didn't love it as much as Something Borrowed and Something Blue. Entertaining and a good story nonetheless. "
— Vanessa, 2/18/2014 -
" This was my least favorite of the Emily Giffin novels I have read so far. The narrator annoyed me and there wasn't a resolution at the end. It was just o.k. In my opinion. "
— Lisa, 2/12/2014 -
" I would have liked this book better if it didn't seem, at every turn, as though the author was judging the protagonist. I was bothered by the way Ben was able to change his mind so swiftly and issue ultimatums; I was even more bothered by the fact that no one seemed to understand Claudia's unwillingness to change her mind as quickly as Ben changed his. "

" Very predictable and if they would only of commumnicated and opened their traps this whole mess could of been avoided, but then there would be no book! "

" This wasn't my favorite Emily Giffin book, but it was still not the worst. Somewhere around the middle of the book, the author lost me. I felt a bit bored while reading. Not recommending to friends. "

" Not my favourite Emily Giffin. Looks at an interesting relationship problem of how a couple can weather a drastic change in a partners expectaitons in a relationship and how far the idea of compromise can go in a relationship "
