This is certainly a quick read, taking only a couple hours to finish. It started as a pretty amusing story about a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants PR specialist, married to a super-organized Accountant. It had almost a Lucy Ricardo feel to it, where the lead character was spending most of her time trying to cover up one blunder after another.The last quarter of the book took a sad turn, when all of the white lies and deception fell apart, and for me, the main character ended up being really unlikeable. The book started out as a light and entertaining read. The idea of creating a "Buggy List" so Drew and Libby can do all the things they want prior to having a baby is a creative idea. Drew's list is serious and thoughtful whereas Libby comes off as being silly and immature for words. Then Libby's continuous "white lying" ruined the story for me. The drama at the end of the story and the way it went from a "laugh out loud" read to something I wish I hadn't bothered with was annoying to.
What do You think about The Buggy List (2000)?
Chick-lit. The story line got a little crazy in the middle. But sweet and cute.
