deal breaker: ‘the catch’ that a particular individual cannot overlook and ultimately outweighs any redeeming quality the individual may possess.
We all have them, deal breakers, in relationships that is. Sometimes it can be as simple as he called her the "b" word. Or she went psycho about his ex. Whatever the deal breaker might be, what happens when you fall truly, madly, deeply in love with your soulmate? What happens when you get married and all of a sudden your spouse changes his/her mind on a major issue? Is love enough to override the deal breaker?
In Emily Griffin's deal breaking book, Baby Proof, she explores what it means to fall in love, have a change of heart, and learn what true love really means. Claudia Parr is a stiff New Yorker who is adamant about not wanting children. Ever. And she has become quite content with the fact that this tidbit may cause her singledom for the rest of her life which suits her just fine. But along comes Ben, the perfect catch, who also does not want kids. Match made in heaven. The two fall in love, get married, and jet set all over the world as they please. They are a pair. They do all things in twos. Except all of a sudden, someone changes their mind. Someone wants a baby. Someone doesn't. The deal breaker.
This light hearted, comedy read is a nice reality check for all of us who harden our hearts while turning away love. It is about discovering true love and letting it prevail, even through our deal breakers.
