Today I'm reviewing Tales
from the Crib by Jennifer Coburn. My rating
for this book is 2 1/2 (I wanted to liked it more and give a 3 star but have to
be honest and true to my rating system).
About the book:
"Talk about bad
timing!
When Lucy Klein gets her
positive pregnancy results, she’s overjoyed. She and her husband Jack have been
trying to get pregnant for years throughout their rocky marriage. But before
she can tell him the big news, Jack has something he needs to announce – he
wants a divorce!
Rather than split up, Lucy
and Jack decide to live together as friends. This way, they can share expenses
and parenting responsibilities. Co-parenting is a fine deal for Jack who is
back in the dating scene by Lucy’s third trimester of pregnancy, but is a
frustrating one for Lucy who has unfulfilled sexual fantasies about every man
from restaurant delivery boys to puppeteers.
Meanwhile, Lucy’s mother is
taking over her life. The grand dame of Planet Earth, Anjoli frequently visits
her daughter to share her own brand of maternal wisdom.
As Anjoli leaves her Drama
Queen bookstore to “help” Lucy with baby Adam, the new grandmother has an
affair with baby’s pediatrician, hosts two weddings (including cousin Kimmy’s
wedding to herself), and constantly frets about which kind of pie to serve
guests. With a cast of family and friends from Lucy’s Jewish aunts to Junior
League neighbor, Candace, Tales From the Crib is the story of how one baby can
bring people together – so they can drive each other nuts! "
