Book Review of Until the Real Thing Comes Along

Until the Real Thing Comes Along
reviewed on + 18 more book reviews


This is a story about a young woman who has always wanted a home & baby and who feels she's running out of time. She is unfortunately in love with a gay man, who finally agrees to have a baby with her but is unable to become "straight". The book seems to me to be lacking in the development of how her parents & siblings feel about this.. Humorous at times; seemed to need more info about her mother's developing dementia - that seemed to be just an afterthought tacked on.

This is the second Elizabeth Berg book I've read & I feel a little disappointed in both.
