Un très gros changement

Jane Taylor #2

by Baratz-Logsted Lauren

A fake pregnancy, a real baby, and a madcap adventure: This follow-up to The Thin Pink Line is “even better than the first book” (Booklist).
 
London editor Jane Taylor pretended to be pregnant for months. Now she has rescued an actual abandoned baby—which would have come in handy for keeping up her charade, except that the infant is black and Jane is white. Finally giving up her ruse, Jane comes clean to the people in her life—but she wants to keep this precious little one.
 
To do that, she’ll have to battle Social Services and take on anyone who tries to get in her way, with some help from her ex-boyfriend Tolkien. But as she tries to reassure others—and herself—that she would make a fit mother, it’s clear that she’ll always be crazy Jane . . .
 
This is a delightfully comic and touching tale from an author with a “deft touch and sure eye for character” (Elizabeth Letts, New York Times–bestselling author of The Perfect Horse).

The sequel to The Thin Pink Line. I had to find out what that immature, obnoxious character was going to do....

This one was a bit better than the first one. At least I didn't have the urge to stop reading it. I'd actually skip the first book and just read this one

What?!

How can they end a book that way???

This was a great follow up to the first book. Although Jane still has some growing up to do, little Emma helps her towards that goal. But does she finally get a happy ending?

I love these Jane Taylorbooks

I love these books and I love this author. I highly recommend this book, it was just as entertaining as the first. Very fun!

I know I hated the other Baratz-Logsted book I read, but I read The Thin Pink Line a few years ago and loved it, but felt totally cheated by the end. This book, then, was very exciting for me to find! Even coming at it this much later, I still remembered the story and characters enough that I got into it quickly, and it's obvious that the stilted style from the other book of hers I'd read was exactly that - a style used for the book. This one was well-written, funny, entertaining, and just a touch over-the-top, but in a good way. Predictable, yes, but definitely entertaining, and it manages to seem totally unpredictable since the main character is such a great lunatic (I mean that in the nicest way!)

I hated the first book but I guess not enough to want to read the second. I guess it was the cliffhanger end. The main character continues to be irritating and now has also become even more ignorant and offensive.

I have somehow read three of this author's books. By the time of the third one, though, I had caught on as to who she was and read it only to make fun of it with my friends.

blah book about this lady that pretends to be pregnant then finds a black baby on a church step and decides to raise it....you don't really hear much about the "raising" till the last paragraph of each chapter.....chick lit that wasn't to entertaining, I wouldn't even suggest it for beach reading

Not as good as the first. but a much needed end to the book I have thought about for years. Then again if there isn't already there will most likely be a third book, just guessing by the way it left off.

I enjoyed the first book, and this was similarly ludicrously nonsensical fun...albeit a little less fun because the whole racial identity mess combined with a closeted gay mom just took the title to heart.

[Charity · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally! The sequel to The Thin Pink Line. This book tied everything from the first book up nicely and was a much better book than the prequel.

[Kim · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was an ok book. It was a little more serious than a lot of the other RDI books I've read, but I did enjoy it somewhat.

[Kara · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a silly, unbelievable book that I read to fill my time. As a time filler, it worked. As a book, not so much.

[Sheila Friedline · Rating 4 out of 5]

GREAT sequel! Better than the first in the series. I am hoping for another installment!

[Pamk · Rating 2 out of 5]

Mostly fluff and little substance...could have been so much more.

I liked this a lot better than the first! Review to come

[Brenda Kelton · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was a lot than the first, but still not a great book. I'm not sure I will read the third book.

[Karen Lee · Rating 1 out of 5]

The first book was so much better. This one was awful. It was too slow and unrealistic. I haven't put a book down in YEARS without finishing it. This book just broke that streak!

[Meaghan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Not as good as the prequel. A little predictable.
