Claudia Par has decided that she doesn't want to have children, ever. Ben Davenport has decided the same thing. They are perfect for each other. Until their best friends have a baby, and one of them changes their mind. How will this affect their relationship?

When I started reading this book, I thought that it was going to be a continuation of the Darcy/Rachel drama. But I guess that is all done now. This book wasn't as good as the previous books I have read by Ms. Giffin, but I will continue to read her writing.

I remember there was a time in my life when I didn't want children so I could related to Claudia on this level. It wasn't until I actually had a child that my opinion on this matter had changed. Well, it actually didn't change, I just learned to accept it.

Book Rating

Jennifer Mathieu has written a strong book featuring a quiet girl, Vivian and her aversion to bullies. One day Viv, cannot put up with it anymore and takes it upon herself to make a stand, starting with a ‘zine she creates herself and distributes anonymously. It’s a small step with a big effect, because it doesn’t take long for things to snowball and soon Moxie becomes an empowering voice to be heard! And I’m not just saying fictional characters here. Every young girl should read this awesome, inspiring and captivating read!

Good for all of you who love the whole ‘girl power’ attitude, and like books which inspire and encourage you in real life to be the person you should be and stand up for yourself. For fledgling feminists everywhere! A fast-paced, bad-ass read full of action and great characterisation. Join the Moxie Movement! Have your say!
