This was a great story and gives you a glimpse behind the scenes of a continuity girl ? she?s the person that makes sure that scenes match up in movies. She ensures fluidity from one take to the next and our heroine, Meredith Moore, is good at her job. She keeps everything in place and discovers at the age of thirty-five that although she?s single, what she really wants most of all is to have a baby, so she decides to become a ?sperm-bandit? ? someone that gets pregnant secretly without having any expectations from the ?father?, other than a little DNA.
The story starts out while Meredith walks off the set of a movie production, never to return after some scathing remarks from the director of the film. She?s lucky to have a mother living in the UK that has an ?old friend? with a job opportunity for Meredith and her mom offers her a place to stay. Meredith?s Mom is a free spirit and although she seems to be a lot of fun, she spends a lot of time embarrassing Meredith. Meredith has a friend that also wants to become pregnant and since, she too, is unattached, she decides on fertility treatments with the help of her roommate. Once Meredith moves to London to join her Mom and begin work on a new film, she meets a whole cast of characters that fill out the novel, giving it depth and, well?continuity!
Along with the production details, Leah McLaren paints a nice backdrop by giving details on London and Toronto ? this was a little different than Brit chick lit and it was fun to learn a little more about the Canadian culture.
I really enjoyed this novel, as it gave a little bit of everything ? romance, sex, film production, searching for a ?baby-daddy? and learning something new about your own ? it was a fine mixture of topics and I liked the fact that although Meredith wanted a baby, she wasn?t overly obsessed, as some characters in her position have been portrayed in other novels. I really liked this story and I will look for more novels by Leah McLaren.
