Book Review:
''Babyville'' by Jane Green is a warm, lively, and witty novel that explores the complexities of modern motherhood. The story follows three friends whose lives are turned upside down by motherhood:

Julia thinks a baby is the answer... but she may want a baby more than she wants her boyfriend.

Maeve is allergic to commitment—a feisty, red-haired career girl who breaks out in a rash every time she passes a stroller. But when her no-strings-attached nightlife leads to an unexpected pregnancy, her reaction may be just as unexpected.

Samantha is happily married and eager to be the perfect mother. But baby George brings exhaustion, extra pounds, and marital strife to her once tidy life. Is having an affair with a friend's incredibly sexy husband the answer?

Green's writing is sparkling, sexy, and tender. This isn't really a story about babies—it's about three friends navigating the life-changing event of motherhood. If you enjoy contemporary women's fiction, romantic comedies, or Jane Green's novels, Babyville is a must-read. Highly recommended!
