New Year's Resolution:
Have a baby
Preferably with Josh Lewenthal
Meet Gemma Jacobs. She's driven, energetic, and a positive thinker. She has a great career working for famed self-help guru Ian Fortune, she lives in a cute studio apartment in Manhattan, and her family is supportive and loving (albeit a little kooky). Her life is perfect. Absolutely wonderful.
Except for one tiny little thing.
After a decade of disastrous relationships and an infertility diagnosis, Gemma doesn't want a Mr. Right (or even a Mr. Right Now), she just wants a baby.
And all she needs is an egg, some sperm, and IVF.
So Gemma makes a New Year's resolution: have a baby.
Josh Lewenthal is a laid back, relaxed, find-the-humor-in-life kind of guy. The polar opposite of Gemma. He's also her brother's best friend. For the past twenty years Josh has attended every Jacobs' family birthday, holiday, and event – he's always around.
Gemma knows him. He's nice (enough), he's funny (-ish), he's healthy (she thinks) and he didn't burn any ants with a magnifying glass as a kid. Which, in Gemma's mind, makes him the perfect option for a sperm donor.
So Gemma wants to make a deal. An unemotional, businesslike arrangement. No commitments, just a baby.
To Gemma's surprise, Josh agrees.
They have nothing in common, except their agreement to make a baby and their desire to keep things businesslike.
But the thing about baby-making…it's hard to keep it businesslike, it's nearly impossible to keep it unemotional, and it's definitely impossible to keep your heart out of the mix. Because when you're making a baby together, things have a way of starting to feel like you're making other things too – like a life, and a family, and love. And when the baby-making ends, you wish that everything else didn't have to end too.
Customer Reviews
Making a baby
Very well written enjoyed this story
Love and a baby
Gemma is looking to have a baby with her brother’s best friend Josh. She has fertility issues and this seems to be the only way to go about this. TW for those with fertility issues. IVF is involved. And this topic is close to my heart. This is nicely done and humor is done to help this along. These two are great together. This was the first book by this author and I would read another one.
I received this ARC through the publisher and I am voluntarily reviewing this book, opinions are my own.
Completely loved
Sarah Ready has become one of my favs, and here is one of the reasons why. She gives you stories with heart, with LAUGHTER, with all the emotions wrapped up all in one. Josh and Gemma, they stole my heart and gave me life. And what I needed at the moment
