Not sure why I picked this up, because it's really not for me. The book is made up of a series of essays on women friends getting together to do the kinds of things women friends do, along with some trivia here and there, like chick bands, chick movies, chick lit, cocktails to make when you're having your girlfriends over, etc. A few of the essays were mildly entertaining. I guess I'm just not the kind of chick this book was written for.

This is one mostly for fun for a change! Image that! This book is the only one I've encountered that examines pregnancy from a prenatal bonding perspective, and I liked the focus on what was going on with Baby--not so much week-by-week development as exploring what baby can hear, feel, see, taste, etc. This book also has some good journal prompts for pregnancy journaling and baby bonding. It can be silly and cheesy at times, but you must take a break from the informational books!
