Olivia has been longing for two things for a long as she can remember: to make her break as a professional actress, and to be a mom. She broke up with longtime fiancee Tom after he suddenly changed his mind about wanting kids and started a casual relationship with maitre'd and fellow actor Phil. As things between them become more serious, she starts to broach the subject of children, but Phil seems skittish and changes the subject every time. Then when she's rejected yet again after an audition, she despairs of ever getting anything she desires out of life. But after surviving a near tragic incident, Olivia realizes maybe what she really wants is right in front of her after all.
This is a wonderful story about family, love, and acceptance. Sometimes when you really love someone, you need to accept their limitations and compromise. I think Olivia really matured throughout the book, learning to accept life as it comes and recognize sometimes it takes hard work to achieve your dreams.
