This was a very light read...good for reading by the pool, spa or at the beach. A story about a woman in her late 20s who unexpectedly becomes pregnant. She is very cynical, but yet likable. Many funny stories about being pregnant and unwed, birthing, and the new status of motherhood. My favorite part of this book is the dialog between her and her new boyfriend (they are in the beginning of their relationship when she gets pregnant)...I wish there were more dialog between the two, instead of Frannie doing a lot of whining. Overall, a sweet, light read.
