Funny quick-paced chick lit ... I actually think I should read Legally Blonde for the heck of it!Though I do find the idea unbelievable - that of a single career-driven woman so easily making the shift to full-time-mother so easily, and without losing her temper either! And the child seems too good to be true. Ahh well, escapism at its best! :) (

I could not get into this book. I read about 175 pages and i felt the book just went no where. Didn't even finish it. (

This is an omnibus of two novels. I liked them. If you have seen the film, you know what to expect and just go for it! Don't expect good literature though. (

Yes, I admit it, I'm drawn to books with appealing covers. I almost stopped reading this one because the writing was bad, but I was interested in the characters so I read the whole thing. It took me ages and I would never read it again because the author just blabs on and on and giving every little description for things I didn't care about. I don't care about the scenery blah blah blah. I also hated that she kept changing the point of view from this person to that person. Shut up already! You're lucky you had one redeeming character, lady. This was so difficult to get through I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. (

Fun, easy read. Tragic story of child's loss of parents but the joining of 3 people's lives that really need and love one another. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0452285534, Paperback)

Firmly planted on the Wall Street fast track to success, Becca Reinhart has no desire to marry and raise a family. Ditto Edward Kirkland, a charming playboy who has never known what it means to work for a living, and hopes never to find out. Enter Emily, who becomes Becca and Edward’s common denominator when a quirk of fate gives them joint custody of the precocious little girl. Suddenly, two people who have never met find themselves sharing the trials and tribulations of domestic life as they navigate the rocky shoals of parenthood, from naptime to play dates to pre-school admissions. And amid the daily demands of raising a young child, Becca and Edward discover something else: They’re made for each other.
