If you are homophobic, narrow-minded, or in any way offended by women who choose to have babies "out-of-wedlock", then this book is not for you. If you are, however, open-minded, and feel that you "are who you are", and you "love who you love", then I will tell you that this book is one of the best books I have ever read. It is heartwrenchingly beautiful and painfully honest in it's descriptions of a woman who feels her time to be a mother is passing her by. It also tells how this same woman is deeply in love with her best friend, who happens to be gay. An absolutely wonderful story that made me laugh and cry throughout.
