1: LOVED it!
As a woman who is about to embark on the SMC venture herself, I found this book to be very entertaining. I really liked it because it wasn't a step by step plan she followed. She jumped in and lived it and it worked out.

2: Choosing Truth
I recently read a wonderful interview with the late Grace Paley. She said, "I struggle to be truthful to myself. I think that's what literature is about; it's the struggle for truth. It's the struggle for what you don't understand." These words came to me again and again as I read Alexandra Soieth's book because although it is a clear and focused work on the decision to have a baby, it also exhibits the mark of the best kind of writing: the author seeks, explores and celebrates truth. Honest, forthright and entirely readable, this book made me proud to be a woman. It captures all the fluctuations of self-esteem and self-love we face, all the courage and cowardice we experience, all the depth in the recognition of our power to make life. I am officially inspired.

3: A book that will stay with you
I found this book a page turner. As the mother of a young child myself, I couldn't wait to read the book and find out how the writer made the decision to have a baby on her own. What I learned about the author as a person made me care about her and made her decision that much more interesting. This book is compelling. I highly recommend it.

4: This Book Won't Disappoint You!!!
I don't remember the last time I stayed up all night reading because I couldn't put a book down, and then walked around bleary-eyed the next day thinking about it. Alexandra Soiseth's "Choosing You" is so beautifully written and so honest -- every parent should read it. I have two children who are older, but it brought back memories of the thrill and terror of deciding to have a child as if it were yesterday. This book won't disappoint you!!!
