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.

Critic reviews

“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.” —The Dallas Morning News

“Smart, snappy chicklit that's sure to provoke discussion.” —People

I really enjoyed Baby Proof. Fun and exciting, easy read/listen with a lovely ending. The characters are all so loveable and i could relate to them all in one way or another, especially the main character Claudia.
I can't wait to listen to more books by Emily Giffin.

Brilliantly written.

I absolutely love this author and have read nearly all her books. That being said, I felt this particular story didn't pay respect to women who choose not to have a family. It was predictable (in a bad way) and normalized the unicorn idea that women who don't want babies will eventually "change their minds". Not the story I thought it would be. That's on me. Nevertheless, I was left quite disappointed by the whole thing. I do not recommend this book if you are someone who is looking for a story of someone who doesn't need a child to fill their life with purpose.

Deply Disappointed
