I loved the first half of this book and was thoroughly enjoying reading it until I got half way through. perhaps I’m overly sensitive to it right now because I’m at a point in my life where everyone I know is getting pregnant or trying or has kids and won’t shut up about it but I think the pregnant storyline is so cheap and such a boring way to keep a story going. I also didn’t care for the graphic detail at which the character was learning about her pregnancy. .
Alas, I finished it because I was invested in the story with Frank and would have been happy with just that and maybe how Libby moved on in life. I would have rated higher if it weren’t for that plot line.
