"She grinned. 'I hope so, too, because I love you so much I'm about to burst.' They both stared down at her belly and then laughed, with joy, love, and the promise of things to come" (366). Did this book just end on a laugh track note and a double entendre? I think it may have.

"'I can't believe Samantha behaved so foolishly, so out of character. She's always been such a perfect child. You expect boys to mess up, but not a daughter, not Samantha'" (313).

"Becoming pregnant was quite possibly the best thing that had ever happened to Samantha, in spite of the resulting turmoil, but not for the reasons she'd originally thought" (267).

"'Being pregnant has given me a purpose in life, direction that was lacking before'" (267). OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE

"Kicking ass was very freeing" (263).

"'You could do a makeover - maybe cut your hair, wear some makeup, buy some new clothes - if you wanted to try and win my brother back'" (258). Yeah, just do something with yourself, girl!

"'It's just...Although adoption seems like a good idea, it doesn't allow me to experience childbirth. I want to push my own baby out of my body and see something I created. Being a man, it's probably difficult for you to understand how important that is to a woman'" (61). Oh buddy. Oh man.

"'In fact, if it does turn out they I'm pregnant, I'm not going to tell him. What's the point? He's made his feelings clear on the matter.' 'As your attorney, I must counsel you that that would be very unwise'" (165). THANK you, lone voice of rationality.

"'I was drunk off my ass, unable to control myself.' Samantha looked almost flattered by the admission" (109). Blergle.
