Kuddos for entertaining....By CustomerAs a first time expectant single mother I purchased this book b/c it's one of the few resources for single mothers to be. Ms. Soiseth is a very good and entertaining writer, and this book mixes humor, sensitivity with basic information for women seeking information on the topics at hand. However, a word of caution is in order....as the content goes, as wonderful as it was that the author was able to get pregnant in such an easy way with a few dollars and in the midst of depression, the crude reality of women going through similar processes, from personal experience, is that getting pregnant is a VERY costly procedure [financially, emotionally and psychologically] and comes with responsibilities that are NOT to be taken lightly as it is often presented in the narrative of this book. Other than that, very nice reading!!!23 of 25 people found the following review helpful. A memoir with almost no practical info...By Constant ReaderIt's not the author's fault, certainly, but very much groups this book in with other books that contain practical information on going about becoming a single Mom. There is almost no info of any practical kind in Choosing You, however; she basically picks her first option and has no problems with it. ("I Googled for sperm" is, in fact, pretty much all the info you get.) Instead, it's a memoir of the "confessional" type, where, after decades of therapy, she shares first-hand her issues with her weight, her issues with her mom, her issues with sex, her issues with boyfriends... but, instead of her paying her therapist to listen, you're paying her to read about it. A lot of people seem to have adored this, but I got it for a friend who's trying to understand some of the practical challenges and options ahead of her, and there's nothing here for that. Just know what you're getting and you won't be as disappointed as we were.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Loved the bookBy CustomerI liked hearing about her personal journey, from her childhood to having a baby on her own. When I decided to have a child on my own, I found a lot of "garbage" books online that had nothing to do with my situation, and ended up being a waste of my time and money. This book was so well written, that I couldn't put it down and read it three times before and while I was pregnant. Kudos to Ms. Soiseth for putting her story out there, in such an entertaining fashion.
