This is a lovely book about friendship, unrequited love, and what people are willing to do for each other in tough situation.
Romily is a single mom who is slightly aloof and very much married to her career. She's awkward and a little antisocial. Her closest friends are Ben and his wife Claire, who she has known since their days together in college. Ben and Claire would love to have a child but despite repeated attempts, have not been successful. Romily can't bear to see Ben suffer, and volunteers to be a surrogate. This puts all Ben, Claire, and Romily on a path that no one could predict. I loved the honesty in this book and the complexity of the characters. I was afraid this was going to become a predictable read but it exceeded my expectations. I definitely recommend it if you enjoy books about friendship, families, and relationships.
*I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
