The Bright Side of Disaster by Katherine Center was my first book choice of the year. The title grabbed my attention but the book was a bit of a let down.
Here are the goods.
AMAZON.COM SUMMARY
Jenny Harris is nesting in her Houston home with her fiance, Dean, awaiting the birth of their child, to be followed by their wedding. But Dean grows more distant, especially after a coworker dies in a plane crash, and Jenny ends up becoming a single mother. Determined to take good care of her child, she tries to forget about Dean, relegating him to the past. Coping with a baby takes all Jenny's time, so when her perfect single neighbor takes an interest, Jenny is flattered but exhausted. Then, when she finally decides to take a chance and get to know him, Dean comes back into her life. In her stellar first novel, Center paints an accurate and humorous view of motherhood, from the physical changes to lack of sleep and exhaustion as well as the changes in friendships and feelings about men.

MY TAKE
This book was fluff. It was a rather simple story about a woman going through her first pregnancy with an uncooperative partner. The story's path is predictable but the flow is smooth. This book could serve as an episode filler for desperate housewives.
READING DURATION? Three days
RATING? Three out of five stars
