Wonderful Book,

This review is from: Tales From The Crib (Paperback)
I could not put this book down, I started reading it on my lunch break and was five minutes late getting back to work, I burnt dinner and stayed up waaaay past my bedtime. I had to find out what would happen between Lucy and Jack. This is by far the best book by Jennifer Coburn. The story was well written and all the characters seemed true to life. Even her over the top mother!! If you enjoy this book try Wonderboy by Fiona Gibson.
Happy Reading!!!!

Very funny,

This review is from: Tales From The Crib (Paperback)
This is the story of Lucy Klein, a woman whose pregnancy goes wrong in every way imaginable. Her husband dumps her after her first trimester, yet wants to have a "platonic marriage". She develops Bell's palsy, which makes her face crooked. And she has to put up with the girlfriends her husband brings home (they have agreed that they can see other people).
Despite the depressing-sounding premise, this book often made me laugh out loud. Lucy is a spunky, zany character whose friends are equally outrageous. One of her friends is the producer of a TV show, Real Confessions, that airs Catholic confessions on Fox and enrages the Catholic church and almost everyone else. This is one of those books that is more about madcap happenings and crazy humor than a conventional plot. The plot arc between Lucy and her husband is ultimately less interesting than all the unusual events that take place in Lucy's life. However, the book has plenty to keep you interested, even if Lucy and her husband's relationship is not foremost among them. If you want a laugh, read this book. I think Jennifer Coburn's books just keep getting better, and this is no exception.

Delicious!,
By MichelleParkinson (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales From The Crib (Paperback)
I was highly anticipating this new book and was definitely not disappointed! My only problem with Jennifer's book was that I couldn't put it down until I was finished. (my boss didn't like that much, and my son had to make his own lunch for two days, although my husband probably appreciated the quiet time!)Anyway, reading her new book made me laugh out loud (much like her main character), cry (because in a lot of ways I could relate), and smile because reading it was like hearing a story your best friend would tell you. It's got a lot of depth when it comes to the people who surround Lucy (main character), and gives me a lot of room to relate as I have a wide variety of friends as well as some eccentric family members. All in all I would recommend this book to any female across the nation! Now... how long till the next one!? ;)
