Publisher Description
The acclaimed author of Original Cyn finds fertile ground for her wicked wit in this ferociously funny new novel about babies, sex, celebrity...and daring to date a gynecologist.
Ruby (still single at thirty-two) Silverman has made a name for herself at Les Sprogs, her exclusive baby boutique where trust-fund mothers swaddle their infants in the hottest designer wear. But all those bumps and babes can’t prepare Ruby for the bombshell her fifty-year-old mother drops on her: Ruby’s about to get…a baby brother or sister!
When Ruby recovers from the shock of her mother’s pregnancy, she can’t help but question her own baby-making future. Is catering to celebrity moms and cooing over her friends’ kids all she has to look forward to? Sam Epstien would passionately disagree. He’s the gorgeous Jewish gynecologist who has set his amorous sights on her. Soon they’re seriously involved, and life seems to be looking up for Ruby. Until she stumbles upon a shady baby-brokering business that could erupt into a major scandal, derail her career, and maybe even force her to toss the supposedly perfect man out with the bathwater.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
How do starlets walk into the delivery room pregnant and walk out in size 0 jeans without a shred of evidence that the adorable bundles in their arms actually ever resided inside their perfectly toned abdomens? Banking on the average woman's disbelief, Margolis (Original Cyn) offers this mystery-cum-romance, putting narrator Ruby Silverman in a perfect position to blow a starlet's cover. Ruby partially owns Les Sprogs, a chi-chi celeb-frequented baby store in London's Notting Hill where she just happens to keep running into a cute American doctor who works at St. Luke's, the "Bentley of birth centers," where stars deliver babies with shamans at their bedsides. When Ruby just happens to glance into the dressing room at her store and spots a too-flat tummy on one of her supposedly pregnant celebrity customers, her antennae go up and the investigation begins. The absurd, good-humored mystery and a colorful array of secondary characters sets this bit of chick lit a notch higher than your usual girl-meets-doctor.
