Three Girls and a Baby
Three Girls and a Baby - Rachel Schurig

So I decided to re-read this series since I wanted some romance reads and wow, I do not think this series holds up at all. I am realizing the main character in this one was the height of being selfish. Other than that though, the ending didn't make a lot of sense since I for one didn't see that Ginny had really changed. I think if the book had focused more on Ginny and her two best friends who help raise her baby (Anne and Jen) would have worked better. Instead we just have Ginny obsessing over the end of her relationship with her boyfriend Josh and you end up not rooting for her when you find out what really happened. 

 

Ginny has just graduated college and is adrift right now. She and her long-term boyfriend broke up after she did something unforgivable (guess). She misses him and doesn't want things to be over. Instead of trying to focus on her and a career, she stays as a nanny and obsesses over Josh. When she finds out she is pregnant, there is a lot of Ginny ignoring the situation (which got old) and her being upset she has gained weight and isn't as hot as she used to be (that also got old). 

 

I have to say that re-reading this series, I found Ginny to be my least favorite of the girls. She is selfish and I didn't see a lot of her stepping up to help out her friends besides telling them what clothes to wear. If anything Anne and Jen give up a lot to help her out and even let her float on paying rent when they find out she's pregnant. 

 

Ginny has a love interest in this book that actually seemed okay but then Schurig has him have a total personality transplant and turns him into an ass (I saw some shades of Danny in the Mindy Project handwaving happening). It just seems a long way to set things up so that Ginny could try again with Josh (who wasn't written very well at all).


The writing at times felt stilted. I don't think that Ginny was that interesting. The flow wasn't great either. We know time passes, but there are a lot of Schruig telling you about something instead of just showing you throughout the story. it's almost as if she's afraid to let her characters talk to each other. 


I do love that this book take place in Michigan, near Detroit. I don't think I have read that many contemporary romances taking place in this state or in that city. So that was a welcome change. 


The ending is typical HEA, it just felt tacked on though.

Not so much a romance, more a "girl grows up in time to become a mother" type of story.
Three Girls and a Baby - Rachel Schurig

But entertaining.

 

The heroine was likable, though I nearly lost patience with her from time to time.

 

I did feel some sympathy for how her relationship with Josh played out, how she felt when he was away etc. though I am not exactly a clingy person myself. It was believable and interesting to read.

 

It was not exactly romantic, and the pregnancy prevented any sexy times.

 

It was a fun and emotional read, so I might check out the next story in the series.

Three Girls and a Baby
Three Girls and a Baby - Rachel Schurig I finished this in one sitting, I was that happy to find a book that was easy to read where the story flowed easily and the characters are believable and I could relate to them and the situation. The only thing that irritated me a bit was the author's focus on appearances and clothes and make-up.
Other than that I loved this book and I immediately bought the other books in the series.

Three Girls and a Baby
Three Girls and a Baby - Rachel Schurig This story shows how a girl had to grow up, to learn to depend on herself to find things that make her happy. This book was a little confusing. In the end I couldn't exactly keep up. Luke was in the picture for a while and than he just wasn't anymore and He was this great guy who was crazy about Ginny and in the next moment he wants to leave everything behind and go to Europe, and he just went with a simple goodbye. It was very rushed and unrealistic. He was described like a completely different character. And than Josh and the end of the book, it happened too fast.In the end she finds work that makes her happy, she has a wonderful baby and she is with the one she loves.
