"Witty and entertaning portrayal of dealing with pregnancy."

Georgina (George) has been in love with Hugh since she was 18, but she's understanding when he marries another woman. She's also understanding when he admits he made a mistake by marrying Becca. Unfortunately, Becca isn't being cooperative about a divorce.

For 14 years, George has loved Hugh. Eventually, she becomes pregnant with his baby, while Hugh is still married to Becca. George begins to rethink her commitment to Hugh, and her entire affair with him, after learning of her pregnancy.

This story takes the reader through George's pregnancy with all its ups and downs. Normally, I don't particularly care for first-person narratives, but I found Ms. Parks' Larger Than Life an entertaining read. If you've ever been pregnant, you can really empathize with all George goes through, emotionally and physically. If you've never been pregnant, you'll get a pretty accurate account of what it's like, including all the people offering unsolicited advice. I really enjoyed this book!
