A proposito di questo titolo
Amelia Bradlow seems to have everything she needs to be happy - a handsome husband, a beautiful home, money, good looks and a glamourous job. Everything, that is, except the thing she wants most - a baby.
Ed, her husband, is funny, affectionate and sophisticated but simply not interested in parenthood. He likes his life neat and tidy. And he likes having a wife who attends solely to his needs.
As she approaches 37, Amelia is faced with a life-changing decision. Should she stay in her nearly happy marriage, or expose herself to the vagaries of single life and the distant possibility of meeting someone who wants to start a family?

What separates Maggie Alderson’s clever How to Break Your Own Heart from other chick lit offerings is her candid, fully realized portrayal of 37-year-old protagonist Amelia, who is forced to reevaluate her 15-year marriage to frustratingly conventional and overly fastidious husband Ed after she realizes his enthusiasm for having children doesn’t quite match hers.
Catherine Milte’s lively, animated performance guides the listener through this immensely entertaining listen, particularly in her portrayal of Amelia’s affluent, sharp-tongued, and fashion-obsessed friend Kiki, the catalyst for Amelia’s rediscovery of her independence and zest for life.
