Last summer, Jennifer Weiner’s Then Came You topped the summer’s hottest reading list. Now the poignant and heart-warming tale that immersed readers is out in paperback (May 8).
About Then Came You
Coined an “unexpected” love story, this must-read from chart-topping author Jennifer Weiner showcases the story of four women and a baby. India has recently married Marcus, a much older and quite wealthy man, and is intent on producing an off-spring — but is it for the right reasons? Jules is a Princeton-educated young woman who finds herself in a sad family situation which causes her to sell her eggs to help save her father before addiction takes his life.
Annie is a Pennsylvania housewife who has two young children of her own and wants to offer her services as a surrogate to another woman in need — and help herself and her struggling family at the same time. But Bettina, India’s 23-year-old stepdaughter, is wary of her new mother’s plan of producing a baby. In a novel that will arrest your attention throughout, these stories will mesh together with the creativity and care that Weiner brings to all her works. With surrogacy making the headlines due to Giuliana Rancic, E! News co-host and reality star, announcing that she and husband Bill are expecting their first child via a gestational surrogate, my interest in Then Came You was sparked. A very timely story, this novel will cause both laughter and tears and provide insight into surrogacy issues. This is definitely one for your summer to–read list and will be released in paperback on May 8.
