Dee Piccolo
4.0 out of 5 stars Humorous? It depends.
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2006
This is a novel by a British author that follows a couple as they find out what is causing their infertility and ultimately as they go through the rigors of IVF. They both have stressful jobs that affect them in a number of ways but they both have some great friends that, while very fertile, are very supportive and caring. There are some humorous moments but as British humor is a bit different from American humor, I would caution any Americans who are currently undergoing IVF that you won't probably find the story itself humorous. It is not. Yes, there are some funny comments here and there and definitely some funny moments, but you mostly feel the pain that they are going through. That said, if you are currently going through IVF, you may feel better reading this book because you'll know you're not the only one going through a tough time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amateurly written but nice to have read
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2007

I enjoyed reading this book, and as many others have posted, its nice to feel like there's someone else out there going through what you are going through.

The author tells her tale (I presume) in a vaguely humourous way, highlighting the imperfections of her relationship along the way. If this book is based in truth I'm delighted that it ended up successful.

My only crticism is that the book is not particularly well written, and often has a 'dear diary' feel about it. That said, I think most people who have been on the infertility journey feel that they have a book in them, so I can understand why she has been compelled to write it.

Worth a read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable read during my own two week wait
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 5, 2013

This book made me laugh and help pass the time beautifully in my own two week wait. I loved the characters and really felt for them. The humourous tone kept it light... anyone who has been close to IVF knows how sad it can feel, so this was important for me. My only negative comment is about the appalling punctuation throughout... but don't let that stop you if you want an entertaining and poignant read with IVF in centre stage.
