I chose this book because I thought it would be funny. However, when I started listening on audio I couldn’t get into it (second time this month). I decided to go with an old favorite, the latest in the Stephanie Plum series, Going Rogue. I’ll follow this forum to see what others like about it.

I also questioned the baby’s paternity. But I think it wouldn’t have mattered. Paulie wasn’t their son/brother but completely a loved family member. Even if it was revealed the baby wasn’t his, he could have raised it because Donatella wasn’t capable of doing so; Paulie always rescued her and would step up for her and the family. Since his family rejected him when he came out, he wasn’t going to let this baby be parentless and grow up with out unconditional love.

Yes. I don’t know much about New Jersey (have relatives in NYC), but I enjoyed it and have already recommended it to someone I know who grew up in New Jersey, and she LOVED it! 😀

When you think of the relationship between these two, it almost makes sense that Paulie was “tricked” into fatherhood as Varina’s daughter (can’t remember her name) knew he would care for this baby just like he always did for her.

I enjoyed the Italian words/phrases at the beginning of every chapter and the info provided. I grew up in NY and could relate to much of the culture of the family structure. Each generation caught my attention, the mother the most somehow. Even though it seems silly and a rom/com at times, I also felt it touched on generational differences and some important issues. So, yes I’d say keep it on the list.

Yes! That crossed my mind too and then nothing came of it.

Was anyone else left curious to know if Paulie really was the father of Donatello’s baby? I was expecting a different reveal since they thought the baby was going to be premature.

Yes, great book for New Jersey. Loved all the words at the beginnings of the chapters.
