I really wanted to enjoy this book especially after reading the prologue and the opening chapter. I laughed at the envisioned dinner Lucy was going to share with her husband and tell him the exciting new of her pregnancy. Then the bubble burst and her reality dinner was much worse than she hoped. The first chapter even had me laughing out loud at her therapist who decides to go into hiding and not return the couples calls because he just doesn't want to deal with their problems. Seriously? Any time a therapist fires the patient, you know there is good reason and usually a good story behind it.
After the first few chapters though, the fun kind of wore off for me. The book started to decline and hit bottom with no ladder of hope in returning to the top. I really wanted it to, but it just didn't have the steam to keep going. This book is definitely a chick lit book with witty dialogue, funny characters and no paranormal in sight, but it did lack something even if I can't put my finger on it. It just seemed to stall for me. It does have a good ending and it leaves the reader with the feeling of everything being wrapped up nicely.
If you are just looking for a quick chick lit read with lots of laughter and eccentric characters, then give this book a chance. This might just be what the therapist ordered to get your funny bone laughing again.

Some parts I caught myself laughing out loud. Great story of how things come full circle when you're able to let them

Honestly, I wasn't expecting much from this book. I saw it was on the freebie list and I nabbed it since the description perplexed me and it wasn't erotica. Half the stuff I get from Amazon that's free I never read so at the worst, I have another free book in the cloud that I'll never read, at best I'd be entertained. It ended up leaning towards the best! While I wouldn't QUITE 4 stars (more like 3.5) but I'm giving it a 4 here since there's not a .5 option.
While it was a fluffy chick lit novel, it had a bit of dark humor and lots of wit and I was very entertained, despite not being a mother. I really liked Lucy for the most part and her family kept me well entertained. I almost felt like the end drug on a bit much and I wanted to slap Jack numerous times but I really enjoyed this read and happily downloaded the sequel as soon as I finished this book.
