El amor entre Julia y Mark se ha desgastado con el paso del tiempo. A veces, Julia piensa que un bebé podría ayudarles, pero ¿es, realmente, la respuesta a sus problemas?Maeve es totalmente alérgica a la maternidad. Acelera el paso cada vez que ve un cochecito. Una noche de fiesta, un ligue, un descuido... y un embarazo no deseado, pero ¿está segura de que no quiere seguir adelante? Samantha está completamente absorbida por su bebé. Pero ¿cómo se siente Chris, su marido, ahora que su mujer se ha vuelto inaccesible? Y la obsesión de Samantha, ¿es saludable?... Con la prosa luminosa de Jane Green, Hombres, bebés y todo lo demás nos habla con ternura de algo que, al menos una vez en la vida, toda mujer tiene en mente: tener –o no tener– un hijo.

Everyone loves a good chick-lit book and Babyville by Jane Green does not disappoint. The book opens with Julia, our main character numero-uno, legs in the air, against the bedroom wall having just had sex in an attempt to make a baby... after nine-months of trying, she has begun taking a more creative approach to 'baby-dancing'. Having been there myself, I found this image not only familiar, but hilarious. Oh the steps one will take...

Jane Green seems to have hit the 'nail on the head' when writing about the connections between Julia, Maeve and Sam... our main characters. It was great to travel through the different stages of a woman's life when it comes to baby's... 1) Baby-making, 2) Pregnancy & Labour and 3) Being a new-mom. It was not only entertaining but very true to form. I could really relate to each of the women in this book and the stage in which they were in at any given time... I loved it.

While the book was overly predictable, so much so that I knew the end before getting there, it was enjoyable. I think that for a book that follows this journey, it was refreshing that it was, in fact, predictable. Having an unexpected twist in the plot would have brought the story into a direction that was unnecessary.

Overall, Babyville by Jane Green is a great book for just about anyone who enjoys a good 'chick-lit' story. Someone who has seen themselves on any one of the three journey's told within. You will laugh, cry and rejoice. A fun and fast read...

Julia draait zichzelf een halve slag totdat haar hoofd bij het voeteneinde van het bed ligt, waarna ze haar benen recht in de lucht steekt en ze voorzichtig op het hoofdeinde neerlegt.
