Baby City

De: Freida McFadden, Kelly Stoddard

Narrado por: Phillipa Miller

There are only three things in this world that are certain: death, taxes, and babies.

Nobody knows this truth better than Emily McCoy, a third year resident working in Baby City, the affectionate nickname for the busy Labor and Delivery unit at a New York City hospital. On a typical day in Baby City, Emily delivers more babies than the number of hours of sleep she manages to squeeze in that night. And definitely more than the number of dates she's been on since she started her training in OB/GYN two years earlier.

As Emily works tirelessly to safely herald baby after baby after baby (after baby) into the world, she becomes well acquainted with the three hard facts of Baby City:

1. Babies never come when you want them to.
2. Babies always come when you don't want them to.
3. You don't know who your true friends are until your baby is sliding down the birth canal.

Not her norm

Freida McFadden is a phenomenal writer whose books really keep you guessing. Although this book was lighthearted, it was not her normal suspenseful, keep you guessing story and it caught me a little off guard. If this is your first experience with her writing, read some of her other books first.

Not a twist ending!

This was definitely not what I’d expect from Freida McFadden!
More fluff than substance and no twist at the end!

Calling Dr. McCoy.....

Not my favorite at all, but I this is a very niche book.I have literally read every single other McFadden book and had to complete the library. I did appreciate the underlying Star Trek joke however.

Not expected

Not her normal storyline. There was no mystery to figure out. It was an okay book just not what I am used to by this author

Not your typical Freida book!

Her books are typically full of twists and turns, this one seems more of like a documentary on L&D. As someone wha has had two babies, I appreciated the banter of the book as told through a doctors perspective. Narration was great and i stayed hooked through the whole thing - mostly because i was waiting for a big OMG NO WAY moment. The shocking moment never came and the ending thought that went through my brain was "Awh, thats nice :)" It was definitely a palette cleanser from all the other murder/thriller types i gravitate to. Give it a listen!
