Must read

This is the present I'll be giving to all my girl friends in 2007. This book is funny, poignant and sassy. I was hooked right away, and couldn't put the book down after chapter one. The ending is fabulous - I only wish there was more to read. I hope there is a sequel.

Swimming's a Winner!

Clark takes a completely unbelievable medical scenario and makes it utterly believable! You can't help but feel for Sasha and sympathize with her strange dilemma. If finding out you're pregnant isn't enough, Sasha has a few men-gems to choose from to figure out who the father is. Readers will wonder up until the very end whether Sasha will keep the baby or not, and Clark writes her novel in a way that whatever decision Sasha makes, it's the right decision for Sasha. This book was great, and I can't wait for Melissa Clark's next novel!

LOVED THIS BOOK!

Swimming Upstream Slowly

Melissa takes an impossible situation and with sharp wit turns it into a possiblity. It's a complete page turner as you fall into the world she so cleverly creates. Or is it Lazicum Spermatoza real? You will start to wonder no matter what your common sense tells you. Make sure you have a big chunk of time to read this book because you can't stop turning the pages. Melissa grabs you and takes you on a ride. A very satisfying read. It's like a nice long breath of fresh air. Ah!
