Personally, I liked the book as a whole. There were some parts in the middle that dragged on, but there were also many exciting parts. It started out with an interesting idea and some relatable emotions to get you engaged. However, after the opening event happened, things slowed down. The beginning event was when Marietta became pregnant by Jax. She didn't know who Jax actually was, but he eventually figured out Marietta's plan to get pregnant and raise the baby on her. Jax grew up fatherless, so he spent most of the book pursuing Marietta trying to get her to allow him to do his job as a father. This took up most of the book, which got boring.The book began with a man named Harold waiting at an airport to fly across the country to meet a woman named Rhea. Rhea (actually Marietta, the feminist biology professor) had selected Harold as a sperm donor to impregnate her so she could raise her baby on her own. Marietta believed that women are independent and don't need a man to raise a child with. However at the airport, Harold chickens out and runs into a handsome, successful past classmate named Jax. As things worked out, Jax actually impregnates Marietta, figures out her plan, and chases her down to convince her that he needs to be in the baby's life.I would recommend this book to others because it is such an interesting idea and has its funny moments with Jax trying to chase down Marietta. However, there isn't as much going on in other books that keep you interested. There are small side stories going on along the way in this book which provides other things to think about in the course of the whole story. Overall, I would recommend it. Really cute story. I enjoyed the fun, cartoonish plot of what Jax did for a living but I confess, I did figure it out right away even it isn't 'revealed' until towards the middle of the book. I loved the characters of Jax, Tracy, Ryan and Jax's family. The Professor was a little uptight, part of the plot, but I was rooting for her by the end, so it was all good.A nice, funny escape from every day, just what I look for in a book.
What do You think about The Misconception (2011)?
Interesting concept with boring, cartoonish characters and predictable romantic ending.
