The Baby Planner By Josie BrownDate Published: April 5th, 2011Format: PaperbackSource: LibraryCover Love: I like it, but it could be better. It's cute and tells a tad of what the story is about however.

But living vicariously through her anxious clients and her twin sisters' precocious children only makes Katie resent his stance more deeply.

I thought it was going to be a light, fun, adorable read, but it just wasn't that. It had some really dark things about it and a shocking twist, like a mystery novel mixed with a romantic comedy.
It held so many characters who were so, so different and the way they were all compiled together was just perfect. Everyone's journey was different, but it pushed the story in a really good direction. The pacing was a bit slow, but I didn't mind it at all. With this being one of my first real chick lit reads, it was great. Full of heartfelt moments as well. Josie Brown really captures what it's like to be a mother really well and what Katie felt, I felt as well. I teared up a bit at some points.
I MEAN THIS WAS A GREAT BOOK, GREAT BOOK. Its fun, sweet and now I really want more.
