I was expecting a modern woman's perspective on pregnancy and that was not exactly what I got. This book is about a woman who seems entirely ill-prepared for any aspect of pregnancy and spends most of her trying to avoid the fact that she is in fact pregnant. She's clueless and she knows it (aren't most new moms?) but instead of taking time to learn about how to raise a baby and what to expect (i.e. taking a childbirth class) she chooses to try and ignore the fact that she's pregnant at all. She comes across as very selfish. I was highly disappointed.
