Synopsis: A woman discovers that nothing can disrupt a perfect wedding like an unplanned pregnancy in this novel by the author of Living Single. And to think pink was once my favorite color . . . Then the two pink lines appeared. Pink, as in positive . . . as in pregnant . . . as in pure, unadulterated panic. This wasn&’t supposed to happen: I&’m scheduled to marry the handsome, successful, and very appropriate Ross Davis in six months. Unfortunately, while Ross may not rock my world with kitchen-table sex, his technique worked well enough to put a bun in my thirtysomething oven . . . Don&’t get me wrong, babies are great—in theory. But I enjoyed my life the way it was. Loved my job, my rooftop apartment, my friends; was having fun planning my wedding and gazing at my pretty three-carat diamond. I didn't need anything more . . . did I? Well, whatever I needed, here&’s what I currently have: A nasty case of morning sickness, a future mother-in-law obsessed with &“Ross&’s Baby,&” and a custom-designed wedding dress I&’ll soon be too fat to wear. Now, as I burst the seams on my pencil skirts, I&’m trying to take some small comfort in the fact that one is never too bloated for a really cute purse. But impending motherhood also has me reassessing more than my wardrobe—and wondering how fast I can finish growing up . . .
