I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. Emmanuelle de Maupassant is known for her writing of erotic fiction and I wasn't expecting too much 'steam' with the book being about the pregnancy of the main character. Well, even with a heavily blossoming tummy you can have a lust or two with hunky Italian lotharios hanging around!
Baby Love is written in the style of a diary and also uses text and phrasing as if you had written your own diary, cutting out all the 'me's and 'I's which are obvious really.
Delphine's husband is good looking and good in the sack, he knows it as well as Delphine . . . and so does the lady next door! It's terrible timing when at Christmas, Delphine finds herself pregnant and husbandless. I'm sure we've all made the wrong choice of bloke somewhere along the line and can feel for the bleak outlook of her life. I loved Delphine as a character, she didn't deserve the hand she'd been dealt, and I sympathised with her situation. Delphine has hit rock bottom when her well meaning sisters come to the rescue and cause more hilarity at the spa they've booked the three of them into.
Overall, a very good and funny story with moments of pathos. The wry outlook on life and the ironic humour makes this a well worth satirical read.
