I second you on the motherhood - it wouldn't cause me not to read a book, but it's definitely not a plot I currently identify with. In fact, I've been known to rate books lower when they use pregnancy as a plot device. It's like the author thinks, "The woman in this story needs to experience a big life change - I know! I'll get her pregnant!" Is that really the only substantial life change a woman can face? No!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
