Negative Positive
Title: Tired story with a silly lead character.
Review: This book didn't do much for me. The plot is old news - single woman with biological clock syndrome and her gay best friend decide to have a baby together. Personally, I couldn't relate to Patty, the primary character. She wants to get married and have a home life, but she can't get over her fixation with her gay former fiance. Sorry, I can't believe that any woman with an ounce of self respect would act this way. The secondary characters offered some promise, but they were never developed enough to carry the story. The mother's issues were the most interesting part of the book. If they had been more fully developed they could have added the emotional tension this story lacked. Despite my complaints about this book, I did like Berg's writing style. The dialogue is witty, and she has a nice ability to set a scene. I will probably try some of her other books because the consensus seems to be that this was below par for her.
