The Pregnancy Test by Erin McCarthy

I am a person who judges a book by it's cover. I know I shouldn't, but if it looks good on the outside, you know, fun, different, neat pictures, I choose it. Usually, I have done ok with this, but this time, the book was way different than what I usually read.

The Pregnancy Test is about a single girl in New York who finds that she has become pregnant by her older boyfriend, and he has no desire to have anything to do with her. She finds a new job and also finds her boss extremely attractive. As does her boss of her. It goes on from there...very descriptive sex scenes, which is a first for me...those really aren't the books I like. There is some suspence about the boss' first wife but to me, it was very unrealisitic. It made me keep saying to myself, "Really? That's pretty far fetched." And I even read a little to my husband, who shook his head first asking, "What in the world are you reading?" and then stating, "People really do not talk like that." I mean really...who uses the word clitoris on a regular basis?

Not my kind of writer or my kind of story. I do not need literary porn.
