    About this audiobook

    In Kate Rorick’s first adult fiction novel, we enter the wild, bewildering world of modern pregnancies. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll shake your head as you wonder where everyone’s sanity went...

    Meet the mothers…

    Nathalie Kneller: Nathalie’s plan: to announce her pregnancy now that she’s finally made it past twelve weeks! But just as she’s about to deliver (so to speak) the big news to her family, her scene-stealing sister barfs all over the Thanksgiving centerpiece. Yup, Lyndi’s pregnant too, swiping the spotlight once more…  

    Lyndi Kneller:  Lyndi’s plan: finally get her life together! She’s got a new apartment, new promotion, new boyfriend. What she didn’t count on—a new baby! She can barely afford her rent, much less a state-of-the-art stroller…

    Sophia Nunez: Sophia’s plan: Once she gets her daughter Maisey off to college, she’ll finally be able to enjoy life as make-up artist to one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, and girlfriend to one of rock’s hottest musicians. But after 18 years she discovers the stork is once again on its way…

    Now these women are about to jump headlong into the world of modern day pregnancy. It’s a world of over the top gender reveal parties (with tacky cakes and fireworks); where every morsel you eat is scrutinized and discussed; where baby names are crowd-sourced and sonograms are Facebook-shared. And where nothing goes as planned...

      I really enjoyed this book! It was a great escape after a long day and I enjoyed the character development and the hilarious commentary! I just wish the ending would have given me more closure.
    • 2/5
      You know, as a fan of the chick lit genre, I truly wanted to love this book. The general intertwining plot idea of three women traveling through the not-so-glamorous aspects of pregnancy should have been a hit for me. However, I can't help personally feeling that the book fell flat.

      First off, the characters. I detested every single one. In fact, I could feel my blood pressure increasing as I became more and more frustrated with their situations. Especially Nathalie; who I felt was incredibly selfish and rude. In fact, I almost gave up a few times on this book. However, I pushed through, and although the characters did improve mildly by the end of the book, it was too little too late for me. Don’t even get me started on what I thought of the fathers in this novel.

      As for the actual plot, it was decent. I was just incredibly disappointed that it was overshadowed by terrible characters when it could have been a fantastic book; I particularly enjoyed the fact that Kate Rorick didn't gloss over the more embarrassing symptoms of pregnancy - It isn't all sunshine and roses, folks.

      Overall, I honestly didn't care for this particular book. However, that isn't to say that The Baby Plan was an awful book per say, it just didn't hit the right chords for me. As such, I would not likely recommend this novel.
    • 4/5
      Fun (yet also emotional) read for anyone who is pregnant, has ever had a baby, or is even thinking of getting pregnant.
    • 4/5
      I don't have babies. I don't want babies. I do not coo over every baby I see. However, this book, all about the having of babies (though not so much about the babies themselves) was a delight. I have long been a fan of the historical novels Rorick writes as Kate Noble and am pleased to see that the same wit and emotion carry over to a contemporary, non-Romance.

      The Baby Plan is a funny look into the unexpected and motherhood. The Baby Plan is sure to have you in stitches from all the laughter!Nathalie, Lyndi, and Sophia were all great women. I had such a fun time getting to know them all as well as their situations. Each one was different but in a way the same. They were all thrust into motherhood. Although, Sophia had experience with a college age daughter. However, it was kind of a new experience for her again with her age. Lyndi was more of the free spirited sister. Nathalie the more reasonable level headed one. Together, they were sisters. They had their arguments like other sisters but when it counted most, they were there for each other. One of the funniest moments that I enjoyed was the tweets from @WTFPreg. I have never experienced motherhood but if I did I could imagine I would be agreeing with the tweets that @WTFPreg was tweeting. You have to check this book out.
