Review: Another Secret Baby Book
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 13, 2013
It's not really a secret, to us that is, since the author tells us in her introduction. Now anyone who reads my reviews knows that I find the concept of the "secret baby" repulsive, and that, unless Dad is a serial killer, rapist, or abuser, every child should have a chance to know their father, and as early as possible. So I get really annoyed at the female MC when she hides the kid from the father - unless she tried to contact him and that didn't work or if other people deceived her into not contacting him.There was A LOT of deceit here. In fact, just about every adult character in the book managed to keep Nicole and Wyatt apart and Wyatt from knowing about his child. Even Nicole, to a very slight extent. All of those people should be beaten with wet noodles. And towards the end, I felt that Wyatt also became very stubborn and refused to hear the truth. The male MC made the STUPID MISTAKE for a change. But it all works out well, because that's what secret baby books are supposed to deliver.It was a pretty good read. The story was interesting and the writing smoothly. I liked Wyatt a lot, Nicole not as much - I had trouble warming up to her a bit. Probably because she could never make a decision about almost anything. Justin was very cool - he spoke like a wise 16-year old, even though he was 10. But that's OK. It was a fun, quick read and one of the better "secret baby" books I've come across.Recommended.
