Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the opportunity to read and review this book!
This is definitely an emotional read and a very personal one for the author. Lucy is an executive in a marketing firm in London when she meets Jonah at a baby christening and they begin their fairy tale marriage. Lucy is older and is desperate for a baby but finds out that things aren't as easy as she had hoped.
When Jonah's teenage stepdaughter comes to spend the summer with them, their relationship also isn't easy. Lucy struggles with jealousy and fears that Camille's arrival is taking the place of her dreams for a baby.
Interspersed are emotional letters that Lucy is writing whose meaning becomes more clear as you read the book.
This is a quick read, one I couldn't put down and one that deals with a subject that will resonate with so many. It also makes you think about motherhood and family and all the various forms that can take.
