Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Claudia, the heroine of the story, meets (and later marries) her "Mr. Right" on a blind date. What is his name?

Answer: Ben

Claudia has gone from one relationship to another and her not wanting children always seems to be the deal-breaker for a long-term commitment. On her first date with Ben, Claudia discovers that he shares her same lack of enthusiasm for having children. They have so much in common that they quickly fall in love and get married.
2. After a few years of marriage, Claudia's husband starts to change his mind and considers having children. What happens that makes him feel this way?

Answer: his best friend and wife are expecting

Ben and Claudia's closest friends, Ray and Annie, announce that they are expecting a baby. Ben is delighted for them but Claudia is truly disappointed as they were the one couple who were as spontaneous and outgoing as they were. After the announcement of the pregnancy, Ben is never quite the same and starts talking all the time about having a baby.
3. When Claudia finally files for divorce, her lawyer encourages her to ask for everything in the settlement, but what is the only thing she wants?

Answer: CD collection

At first she was going to take just the CDs she had purchased and then after a couple of glasses of wine, decides she wants all of them, even Ben's. She was hoping he would fight her on it, especially the collection of James McMurtry CDs as those are Ben's favorite, but he doesn't. Claudia leaves a couple of CDs behind secretly hoping that one day he will discover them, listen to them and think of her.
4. Who does Claudia move in with after the divorce?

Answer: Jess

Jess has been Claudia's best friend forever and they roomed together right through college. Jess is happy to have Claudia stay with her as she is dealing with her own relationship issues, namely being involved with a married man who seems unwilling to leave his wife. Jess later becomes involved with Claudia's good friend from work, Michael.
5. What is Claudia's occupation?

Answer: editor

Claudia is a successful book editor at a NY firm and Ben is an architect. Claudia gets a great deal of satisfaction knowing that when you Google her online, her name pops up with dozens of literary accreditations.
6. To help ease Claudia back into dating, she starts an affair with a coworker named Richard. He takes her to Italy for her 35th birthday and presents her with what?

Answer: a ring

The pink and green stone ring is not exactly what Claudia would have picked for herself - it is a bit too flashy for her but she appreciates the thought. However the ring starts a flood of thoughts for her about where this relationship is going and is she happy.

After a few days back from the trip, she realizes that she does not love Richard and he very obviously doesn't love her, and she is looking for more. She breaks it off amicably, and even gets to keep the ring.
7. "Baby Proof" isn't just about Claudia's struggle with relationships. One of Claudia's sisters, Maura, has a husband who is cheating on her. Claudia does not know why she stay with him but figures it must be because of the children. How many children does Maura have?

Answer: one girl, two boys

The boys are Patrick and William. The daughter, Zoe, is Claudia's favorite and on the day that Maura is going to confront Scott about his infidelities, Claudia watches Zoe. They go to FAO Schwartz and a showing of "The Lion King". However, while in Claudia's care, poor Zoe has an unfortunate accident with a reckless skateboarder and requires stitches.

Much to Claudia's dismay, they see Tucker, Ben's supposed new girlfriend, in the ER.
8. Michael and Claudia discuss Richard's "list" - the top 10 most dateable women in the office. Clothing has a lot to do with how you rank on the list. What brand of clothing gets an automatic deduction in ranking?

Answer: Old Navy

Claudia even lost points once for wearing patent leather shoes in the off season.
9. Claudia's sister, Daphne, and her husband Tony adopt a baby at the end of the book. What is the baby's name?

Answer: Lucas

Daphne and her husband tried for years to adopt. While having children for Maura was easy, Daphne suffered from several miscarriages and failed in-vitro procedures. On Thanksgiving, they announce that they are adopting a baby from a girl that Daphne met while shopping. It was truly a perfect match and on Christmas Eve, everyone welcomes Lucas into the family.
10. When Claudia discovers that her ex-husband is engaged, she asks him to lunch to talk to him. Where do they meet?

Answer: Pete's Tavern

Claudia invited Ben to lunch to congratulate him on his engagement to Tucker; all the while Ben thought that Claudia was engaged to Richard. Claudia misinterpreted her meeting with Tucker in the ER and thought she and Ben were engaged. It is finally revealed that Ben and Tucker are just friends (and running partners) and Ben justs wants Claudia back - kids or no kids.
