Reviews / Votes
"I did get a kick out of the book. It's honest, open, and funny. It's not your typical loving parenting book, but it is real and practical. If you or a friend is unexpectedly pregnant, this resource might be the best one to give them before all the other parenting books, so they get a sense that they aren't alone in their surprise." --Motherhood Moment"A hilariously irreverent look at modern breeding from the perspective of a work-hard-party-harder writer who had no plans to get pregnant--and then did." --Nashville Scene
"Moore chronicles her journey and gives helpful tips for others who find themselves in her shoes in Oops! How to Rock the Mother of All Surprises." --Chicago Tribune
"I absolutely adored Oops!... because Moore is the type of girlfriend I wish I would have had to comfort me during my own unplanned pregnancy. Moore's writing gives you the sense that your unplanned pregnancy, while not an ideal situation, is somehow going to work out OK in the end." --Smart Mom Picks
"Moore's conversational tone is welcoming. This is the perfect gift for all your accidentally preggers peeps." --Bust Magazine
