The listing, Diary Of A Mad Mom-To-Be Novel By Laura Wolf has ended.
In this sequel to her first book, Diary of a Mad Bride (2002), Wolf revisits the life of Amy, the harried bride from that novel. Amy, a vaguely unlikable heroine, has survived her impossibly obstacle-fraught wedding day and is now happily married and content, except for a persistent and totally unexpected yearning to have a baby. Predictably, madcap adventures ensue as Amy has difficulty conceiving and then, once pregnant, has difficulty adjusting. Comparisons to Bridget Jones's Diary (1997) are impossible to avoid, as Wolf's kooky heroine pours out heart and soul to her diary, railing against friends, family, and events, in a sometimes funny but mostly sarcastic monologue. And so readers will follow the zany (and somewhat over-the-top) adventures and insights of a wacky mom-to-be as she navigates her way through the emotional upheavals and lifestyle changes wrought by pregnancy and childbirth. A light summer read, this book will likely appeal to newly pregnant women or those considering pregnancy, fans of Wolf's previous novel, and readers who enjoy "chick lit."
