Fascinating book

I really loved this book and was fascinated by the topic. No, not the baby topic (though I thought it was very well drawn out with Claudia, her sisters and Jess), but the idea of what would be a non-negotiable issue in an otherwise wonderful relationship. Giffin is a smart writer and makes the book entertaining and thought-provoking at the same time. Also, really loved the ending. I love that some questions are answered, but that some are also left open. Makes it more authentic.

Ok book

This book is about a woman who didn't wants kids and that eventually led to her divorce. While she tried to move on, she witnessed baby-related things happened to her friends and family and wondered if she made the right choice...

This is an ok book because I skipped some parts which I think are very unecessary to throw into this book. A little draggy toward the end.
Some people said that this book is against feminism because she **************spoiler********** decided to have kids for her husband but I din't think so. Yes, she changed her mind but the reason she didn't like to have kid in the beginning is because she didn't want to be like her mother (who cheated, abandoned their kids,...), it's not because of her career and other random stuffs (yes, she did says that those are her reasons but they are only excuses because she really didn't want to face her real reason, IMO)

I LOVE the fact that Giffin squeezed in the after-marriage life of Ethan and Darce, I was really surprise when I got to that part and can't stop smiling knowing that they are still madly in love, and have a baby GIRL on the way.

Insightful and Fun - Addresses an Often Untalked about Topic

This was a great book! It was funny, smart, and insightful. It tackled an often untalked about topic - making a choice to not have children. So often in our society, women who choose not to have children are labeled as selfish and uncaring. Honestly, if you think about some of the reasons that people have children, they are quite selfish. To decide not to have children in a world that expects nothing less requires someone has who has insight and a strong enough sense of self.

The author tackles this topic in a thoughtful and engaging way through the experiences of Claudia and Ben who have each chosen a childfree path. Heading into their marriage, there is an agreement that they will not have children. The story is about what transpires when Ben realizes that he actually does want a child while Claudia remains steadfast in her decision to live childfree.

I found myself empathizing with both and wanting each to have what he/she truly wanted, while at the same time having one another. Impossible. Baby Proof is a journey that doesn't disappoint. It is intelligently written with great dialogue.

From the author of the smash hits Something Borrowed and Something Blue comes a novel that explores the question: is there ever a deal-breaker when it comes to true love?
First comes love. Then comes marriage. Then comes . . . a baby carriage? Isn?t that what all women want?
Not so for Claudia Parr. And just as she gives up on finding a man who feels the same way, she meets warm, wonderful Ben. Things seem too good to be true when they fall in love and agree to buck tradition with a satisfying, child-free marriage. Then the unexpected occurs: one of them has a change of heart. One of them wants children after all.
This is the witty, heartfelt story about what happens to the perfect couple when they suddenly want different things. It?s about feeling that your life is set and then realizing that nothing is as you thought it was---and that there is no possible compromise. It?s about deciding what is most important in life, and taking chances to get it. But most of all, it?s about the things we will do---and won?t do---for love.
