I almost didn't finish this book. Each chapter is written by a different character in the book. A young girl, Jules is approached by a man working for a fertility clinic to recruit her to be a donor of her eggs. Annie, a caucasian young mother, married to a black man, Frank decides to become a surrogate mother because they have purchased an older home in need of repairs. A 43 year old woman, India posing as a 38 year old marries a wealthy man in his 50's. His daughter, Bettina suspects she isThe idea for this story was fanfrickintastic. The execution was abysmal. In Little Earthquakes, Weiner successfully alternated between multiple female narrators. This time around, not so much. The narrator (one of four) would be going about her daily life and suddenly, she'd be flashing back to her senior year of high school, or her dad's DUI when she was 14, or her mom running away to an ashram with her yogi, and then blah blah back to the present. By the time (view spoiler)[two of the

The thing about bad decisions is that they dont feel like bad decisions when youre making them. They feel like the obvious choice, the of-course-that-makes-sense move. They feel, somehow, inevitable.
I hated this book. I read Good in Bed ages ago - one of the first ARCs I ever received. I loved it; I loved In Her Shoes. I thought I'd be a Weiner fan for a long time, but have started to lose interest in the past few books, maybe growing out of her writing, maybe a declining quality in the books - which ever. Not only did I hate this book, but I hated myself for slogging through every single superficial, poorly written, contrived page. There's an audience for this kind of book and the other
Then Came You is the story of 4 women, brought together by the circumstance of infertility. Each chapter is told from their various POVs, something I'm actually not too fond of. I am a reader who loves the 1st-person, but only when it's done correctly. Multiple 1st-person POVs make it difficult to keep up with whose head you're in and that's a little pet peeve of mine. I think it would have been better executed in the 3rd-person. But I digress.The plot is genuinely unique. Not many others have
Hooray! I knew I didn't not give up on Jennifer Weiner's books for a reason. After really not liking her past few stories (really since Little Earthquakes), Then Came You returns Weiner to her style of good story telling, good character development - just a good, light, fun book. Is it amazing? No. But the story is good, the characters are well developed - for the most part, with the exception of one, I really liked all of them and cared about all of their stories (the exception being Bettina, a
