The Birthdays by Heidi Pitlor

This book was about three siblings all relating to pregnancy. One is a single woman, accidentally pregnant, one has a wife pregnant with twins through IVF, and one has a wife pregnant from a donor. The family convenes for their father's birthday for a long weekend. The book follows their struggles coping with relationships and with their pregnancies. The author did a good job of explaining each of the characters' personalities, incorporating stories of their shared childhood.

It was a quick read and nothing special, but I was interested to know what would happen to the characters.
