Book News: Dear Thing by Julie Cohen

Julie Cohen's new book Dear Thing is one that has been on my radar for a long time. I remember reading something about it way back last year, and thinking that I couldn't wait to read it. Luckily, we now only have to wait until 11th April 2013 to read this book, and the plot idea sounds fantastic, with the cover merely making it all the more readable. I am really excited about this one, and April can't come quick enough!

You can pre-order Dear Thing as a hardback now.

"Claire and Ben are the perfect couple. But behind the glossy façade, they've been desperately trying - and failing - to have a baby for years. Now, the stress and feelings of loss are taking their toll on their marriage. Claire's ready to give up hope and get on with her life, but Ben is not. And then Ben's best friend, Romily, offers to conceive via artificial insemination and carry the baby for them.

Romily acts in good faith, believing it will be easy to be a surrogate. She's already a single mother, and has no desire for any more children. Except that being pregnant with Ben's child stirs up all sorts of emotions in her, including one she's kept hidden for a very long time: Ben's the only man she's ever loved.

Two mothers-and one baby who belongs to both of them, and which only one of them can keep."
