Customer Reviews

Very funny and quick read!

Loved this book, read it in a day. It was funnier than Diary of a Mad Bride which I read when I was engaged. That one was really cute so I wanted to read this one now that I'm married and babies are on my mind. VERY enjoyable!! I laughed out loud a number of times as she goes through her 9/10 months of pregnancy. She keeps a list of "What no one tells you about pregnancy" that cracks me up as she stumbles upon these things the hard way! You'll love it, too!

Great preggers-chick book

this is a quick read and side-splittly funny! Laura Wolf captures all the ups and downs of being pregnant for the first time and having to discover all those little things that nobody tells you about before you get pregnant! if you're pregnant or if you best girlfriend is - get this book!!! It cheered me up and helped me laugh my way thru cravings, mood swings, peeing every 20 minutes, and dealing with the well-meaning family members. Also great - Diary of Mad Bride by Laura Wolf

Laura Wolf gives birth to another hit!

Amy Thomas, now Amy Thomas-Stewart, doesn't think she wants children until out of the blue, she hears her biological clock ticking away. We are with her throughout her entire experience beginning with when she realizes she wants a baby all the way to when she gives birth. Of course, Amy is at again with her 'To Do' list (just like she had in Diary of a Mad Bride), scratching things off as she accomplishes them (if she doesn't run out of time). But I think the best part of this story comes from the realism that is captured in this story. Amy's relationship with her best friend Mandy becomes strained because, unlike in Diary of a Mad Bride, Mandy is unfamiliar with what Amy is going through and how much it means to her to have a best friend by her side supporting her.Of course, the ability of Laura Wolf to describe Amy and her experience in such a realistic way helps to make this book actually hysterical. I laughed out loud on several occassions. I actually cried when she had the baby.

Laugh Out Loud Funny!

I began reading this book at the beauty shop while getting my hair highlighted. I was laughing so hard I am sure everyone thought I was crazy. A great follow up to Diary of a Mad Bride-To-Be, Amy Thomas is even crazier than before! Great for anyone expecting, thinking about expecting or knows someone who is expecting. One of the funniest books I have read in a while.

She's ba-ack!

Amy Thomas is back! This time she has taken it upon herself to obsess about her pregnancy. She goes through one misadventure after another as she realizes that her birth date's looming and she hasn't achieved the tasks at hand on her 63-item To Do List. To make matters worse, she's lost her job, owns a rather small apartment and her husband finds it difficult to deal with her neurotic manner. She begins to wonder whether having a child was a good idea after all... This novel is hilarious! Amy's one of the most neurotic characters ever written. Just when I thought she couldn't be more insubordinate in Diary of a Mad Bride, her obsessive behavior reaches outrageous and laugh out loud proportions in the second novel. Laura Wolf is a great writer, not unlike Sophie Kinsella -- author of Confessions of a Shopaholic. Their writing styles are quite similar. Diary of a Mad Mom-to-Be is a great summer reading investment. Highly recommended...
