Reviews
George is a gay kindergarten teacher who has just broken up with his lover. Nina is a lonely psychologist, in-between lovers, who needs a roommate. When George moves in with Nina, the two develop a satisfying friendship that survives all challenges, until the day Nina announces she is pregnant. Should Nina marry the father? Should George help her raise the babyor flee this frightening responsibility for life with a new lover in Vermont? Though the situation is interesting, both Nina and George are too vague and disorganized to fully engage the reader's sympathies. This first novel shows some nice touchesa good comic portrait of the baby's father, scathing commentary on a private kindergarten for young yuppiesbut ultimately it disappoints. A marginal purchase.
