Book Review By Nicole Quier
Diary of a Mad Mom to Be by Laura Wolf

Amy Thomas-Stewart is a 30-something newly married writer in New York City. After her last job evaporates due to the magazine folding, she is left on unemployment in a cramped apartment with her husband (and her sister living on her couch!) Always focusing on her job, Amy suddenly hears her biological clock ticking and decides she MUST have a baby NOW! After much persuading, her husband consents. In the meantime, Amy finds herself gainfully employed again, at a less-than-glamourous job writing press releases for celebrities. As her weight rises, so does her blood pressure as she's assigned to work with an anti-child celebrity with a book no reviewer will touch. What follows is nine months of pregnancy suprises nobody ever warned her about. From the struggle of finding a pediatrician in the city, to settling on a name, Amy runs into hilarious troubles all the way down her enormous "to-do" list.
