How to Break Your Own Heart Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I loved this book addressing a modern dilemma. A marriage where one partner wants a baby and the other doesn't. Everything about the marriage is great except for this. Amelia is almost 37. The book is humorous and yet confronts the issue and the emotions involved. looked forward to reading it each night. "

" As chick lit goes, How To Break Your Own Heart isn't bad, but neither is it particularly good. I'm a bit of a fan of Maggie Alderson but she's definitely written better. The story here come to an unsatisfactory conclusion at much too swift a pace. However, it started well and I found myself attached to the main character early on. The sex scenes are better than a fade-to-black, but decidedly average in the grand scheme of sex scenes. Overall I would say that this novel is a good choice if you like Maggie Alderson's fashion-focused novels, but otherwise there's better chick lit out there that might be a better option. "

" A good read. Captures the dilemma many women face as they approach 40 and realise that time is running out and they must face that life-changing decision as to whether they really want to have children. "

" Good holiday read. You might want to kill Amelia's husband Ed, though. Suggest you read with a good chocolate supply to distract you from any violent inclinations. "

" Chick-lit, nice easy read with a happy ending :) "

" This was a perfect Boxing Day read. Nothing too strenuous or surprising about it. "

" I was surprise how much I enjoyed this book about the changing dynamics of a marriage. Made we want to start gardening and grow my own veggies :/ "

" What a waste of time! "

" This was a fun easy read. Inspired by her friend Kiki starts on a new adventure. "

" This book made me go "awwww" and I have already kind of forgotten what it was about. Which makes it almost perfect chicklit, really. "

" I agree with Marian, a good summer read. But why does the Australian character have to be such a Caricature - bold brassy outspoken party girl! I found that sooo annoying - are we really like that? Hmmmm. I like Maggie Alderson but that distracted me! "

" Really enjoyed driving about listening to this one. Felt like inventing reasons to be out on the road! "

" A good bit of chick-lit. This is a heart-breaking read about a woman who fell in love with a man who did not want children, and she did want them. It is a little predicable but an enjoyable and easy read. "

" I was pleasantly surprised by this book. Fairly standard chick lit but mostly good fun. My one major disappointment - a reference to Lindsay Lohan during a chapter supposed to be set in 1992. It bugged me for the rest of the book! "

" I get a bit sick of the predictability of Maggie Alderson's books. They're a fun read, however each book has the same set of characters, just different names and jobs. "

" A stupid, "weekend read" - not worth wasting the weekend on though. "

" Another great book by Maggie... "

" Maggie Alderson is a great writer. The characters in this story where relateable and fun to hear from. I enjoyed reading this book! "

" Makes you stop and think that if you aren't happy with your relationship situation, to do something about it and not just stay together because it all seems too hard. I think Amelia made the right decision in the end. "

" Pure fluff! Easy holiday reading. "

" An all time favourite, I love Maggie Alderson's work "

" I found the blurb a little misleading as it took about halfway through the book before it addressed the issue of being in a marriage where one partner doesnt' want children. It was still a good read though. "

" Perfect holiday reading, while actually managing to touch on some serious issues. Well developed characters, story line and London setting. "
