SUMMARY: Becca finds herself single and pregnant after her 
boyfriend walks out on her.  She runs into an old friend 
from high school, Greg, on her first visit to the doctor's 
office.

COMMENTARY: I enjoyed this story quite a bit.  The plot 
takes in much more than just sex.  A good deal of it focuses 
on Becca and her pregnancy.  She continues to work while she 
is expecting.  She runs into Greg in places other than the 
doctor's office.  She interacts with some of her clients at 
the counseling center.  She has a life.

There is one plot line that is dropped towards the end 
without any sort of resolution.  It wasn't central to the 
story, but it left me thinking that the author dropped the 
ball before she crossed finish line.  I don't know if that 
last sentence made sense, but hopefully you get the idea. 

I did find the sex to be very arousing, but there isn't an 
abundance of it.  That's why I gave it the arousal score 
that I did.  The score reflects quantity, and not quality, 
in this case.

OBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: 7.5 (out of 10)

        - Arousal: 3/5
        - Editing: 5/5
        - Plot and Characters: 4/5

SUBJECTIVE ANALYSIS: Very Good
