The Stud Book by Monica Drake

3.0

I love when books tell the story from different points of view, and that's what The Stud Book does. It gives a greater understanding to each character, especially those you might write off as "the bad guy" or not identify with. The story itself was very interesting, about four women who have been friends since college and have all taken drastically different paths while staying close. Sarah researches the mating habits of animals in the zoo, while trying desperately to have a baby with her husband. Georgie just had a baby, and her husband is coping by spending all his time in a bar. Nyla is facing a new pregnancy of her own, even while her daughter is about to leave the nest. Dulcet has never had nor wanted children, and is living the wild life. The stories intertwine nicely, and there is suspense and humor to keep you reading. The ending was pretty lackluster, but I suppose it leaves room for a sequel, which might be interesting.
