Casey is pregnant. And she’s not happy about it.

"FINALLY! A pregnant woman who...Loved being Pregnant!"

Casey Samms has always wanted to be a mother.

But it’s only when her plan for immaculate conception (or sperm donor), is spoiled by a drunken night with her roommate J.B. and an expired condom, that things veer off into the WTH category.

Sexy J.B., with his long list of past girlfriends, is the last person Casey expects to stick around for the morning sickness and doctor visits but this time J.B. isn’t running away. He's reading the baby books and asking the questions and that time when he touched her belly...

Casey has nine months to get ready to do the baby thing on her own, but J.B. isn’t making a move to get out of the way.
One night changed Casey’s life. Is J.B. ready to change as well?

Find out how Casey deals with the unexpected in this sweet, laugh-out-loud, friends-to-lovers romantic comedy about second chances (and third...and fourth...)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"I was expecting a quick and fun chick-lit book. Instead, I got a book I was unable to put down. Holly Kerr made me fall in love with Casey, the main character. Her funny, quick-witted personality makes you root for her almost instantaneously." - Goodreads reader

From the Author

Unexpecting was published in 2012 as Baby! Baby? Baby?! Because so many thought it was a non-fiction study of getting pregnant, I thought it best to change the name and get a new cover. But it's the same story - Casey and J.B, and Brit...Look for a sequel coming soon!!

This book was cute and funny. I could not put it down because I was eager to see what happens next. The one thing I hated was the relationships between the different women, except Emma, she was lovely. I can't imagine being friends with unsupportive people. I hated the doctor too. Lol any book that causes me to want to choke characters is well written. A good read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very little romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2023

I didn't have a high opinion of J.B. from the start because when Casey arrived home after the worst day ever what does he do as a 'friend'? He has sex with her. She seems to think he's a really good guy and it's 'the only way he knows to offer comfort' but to me it was a guy taking advantage of a drunk and emotionally vulnerable woman. ('Offering comfort' would have been holding her all night.) Yeah, the pregnancy had to happen to make the rest of the story happen, but I wasn't keen on how. This kind of casual sex between friends seemed to be no big deal, making the characters seem more like they were in their twenties than in their thirties (aka not very mature). So I had a bit of an uphill battle with this story to begin with, and it didn't help that it was all in Casey's POV so I had no idea what J.B. was thinking. (I like discovering underlying reasons for a character's behavior, but we only got hints from things a somewhat clueless Casey learned about his backstory.)

The first half of the book was full of Casey's friends' drama and mommy angst and the ex-boyfriend as a potential daddy-donor. I hung on until Casey finally figured out she was pregnant which was over 50% of the way through the book (and then with triplets - really?). Then I wanted to see how J.B. reacted, of course, but had to wade through more friend drama and no romance whatsoever (in fact, there's a scene of J.B. showing his 'overnight guest' out one morning; why was that necessary to the story?). Even the high point where he finally told her how he felt was underwhelming (but yes, by then he's redeemed himself!), followed by a rushed explanation of a wedding and the births. I wanted to like this story with its slight twist on the accidental pregnancy trope, and maybe others would enjoy the friend drama that overshadowed the 'relationship' between Casey and J.B., but it wasn't my cup of tea.

The suspension of disbelief is strong in this one! It's an unexpectedly fun romp through romance, ticking clocks, and social interaction, twisty: an emotional rollercoaster of storytelling.

Definitely give it a read. I'm still laughing. * grin *

An absolutely brilliant book. I was in stitches the whole way through; the characters get up to the most entertaining antics. That said, I was also incredibly touched, and may have shed a quiet tear or two as well. A really well written book, with a very distinctive voice, and characters I immediately fell in love with due to how vividly they come to life. One of the best books in the genre that I've read for a long time.

3.0 out of 5 stars I buzzed right through it
Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2021

Romances are not usually my bag of tea but this one caught my interest and I buzzed right through it. The characters were believable and for the most part, likeable.
The were only a few spelling and punctuation errors. There were also some questionable passages which need addressed.
{{{SPOILER ALERTS}}}
•When Casey went for her first check up, the doctor examined her while she still wore her street clothes. I believe it would have been quite difficult to do a full examination and pelvic without the patient in a gown.
•When she went for first ultrasound she kept her clothes on, which I believe is normal. But when they had to change to a vaginal ultrasound they just pulled one leg from her pants and underwear and left the garments dangling from the table. I find this unprofessional and unbelievable. Also why did J.B. have to remain in the waiting room only to be brought in eventually?
•When Casey tried on her maid-of-honor dress she noticed it was tight around the waistline. The dress has an empire waist so there was no waistline.
• in A Young Woman’s Guide to the Joy of Impending Pregnancy Dr. Francine Pascal Reid (1941), Casey read; "Pantyhose should be worn at all times to avoid swollen ankles.” But, pantyhose weren't invented until 1959.
{{{End spoiler alerts}}}
I recommend this book and give it 3.5☆s.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unexpecting book review
Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2018
Verified Purchase
After spending years unsuccessfully wading through the pool of eligible bachelors, Casey Sams decides to give up dating. Maybe she really is romantically challenged, and maybe the whole mommy-and-daddy-plus-baby-makes-three thing really is a hopeless fantasy. But that doesn't mean she can't have a baby and fulfill her dream of motherhood anyway... Does it? What follows is a fun story with a lot of twists and turns. Ms. Kerr approaches a serious subject with a light-hearted and comical touch, including her signature pinch of spice. If you loved Bridget Jones, you'll love Unexpecting. A great vacation read.
