About this ebook

“Smart and funny, The Baby Plan is irresistible! A winner.” -Susan Mallery, #1 New York Times bestselling author

In The Lizzie Bennet Diaries creator 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...

    4/5
    Fun (yet also emotional) read for anyone who is pregnant, has ever had a baby, or is even thinking of getting pregnant.

    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.

    Meh. But not a bad read while I was in bed sick for the weekend. Very predictable.

    A great combination of the stories and perspectives of different women and how they go through the emotional and mental changes of pregnancy. As a woman who hasn’t experienced this yet but spends time thinking and wondering about how it may feel, i found this book adressing many of my own questions and worries. A lovely read, touching upon various types of relationships.

    2.4 maybe. It's such a predictably boring boy. There's nothing that surprises you. None of the characters are noteworthy.

    I enjoyed it even though two things are immediately obvious (to me). One, vegans don't eat eggs. Or cheese. And two. I haven't had a baby.
    But should I be fortunate enough to travel that route, I feel fairly confident that I now know far more than at least 7 books and 9 websites could ever tell me. Fantastic story, and lovable characters.
