Then Came You

"Going into this book not knowing what it was about was surprisgly pretty good. I probably read this at a good time in my life as a married woman who has plans for babies in the near future. Far from the normal genre that I usually like to pick up (horror, thriller, mystery, etc.)<br/><br/>Jules - this perspective makes me want to donate my own eggs to a family in need. I know a year or two ago I asked my husband on his opinion about this because when you're married everything should be discussed. I was surprised he had strong feelings about knowing somewhere out there there's a child with my DNA that wouldn't be his child. Even when I said you can make a good amount of money to donate he still wasn't convinced that he wanted me to donate my eggs at the time. <br/><br/>Annie - Flash forward to the past month of me reading this book. I had asked my husband his opinion on me being a surrogate mother. I have no intentions of doing so I just wanted his opinion. Surprisgliny, he said he at least wanted kids of his own first and then wanted to know how much it would pay to be a surrogate mother. He would want to know how I'd explain it to our children.<br/> This perspective was great for looking through the eyes of a family of four. A husband who was completely against it but knowing bills needed to be paid.....also screw him for not helping at all during her pregnancy as well as not helping around the house to keep things clean. He didn't even help with his own kids which made me furious. Annie should have had a stress free pregnancy but of course she didn't. Kudos to Annie for being so strong through all of it and not letting her husband know just how much she was struggling. I'm glad he realized how much of a dick he was in the end and it worked out for the two of them....also side note, I had to change Frank's name to "Frado" because Frank is my dad's name and it was awkward for me to read the sex scene"

"<strong>I liked the first book</strong><br/><br/>This is a spin off of your Thortons books. The younger family live in the save city but not we get the first book about Ash. Such a great character and violet a widow that just moved"

"If it had an actual plot, it might have been a good novel. Instead it's just a (very slow) "story" about about several different women. It jumps around too much, both in characters and in time."

"Jennifer weiner yes! She is one of my favourites!"
