Entertaining as well as brutally honest, Miss Manners likens pregnant women to low-tier celebrities, and offers not advice but pronouncements on the proper etiquette of behavior to and by moms-to-be in this eBook original.

Can one apologize with a text message? Offer condolences? Propose marriage? Use text messages as invitations?
