Then Came You

Jennifer Weiner, 2012

Jules Strauss is a Princeton senior on a full scholarship who plans on selling her “pedigree” eggs to help save her father from addiction.

Annie Barrow, a struggling Pennsylvania housewife, thinks that carrying another woman’s child will help her recover a sense of purpose and will bring in some much-needed cash.

India Bishop, thirty-eight (really, forty-three) and recently married to the wealthy Marcus Croft, yearns for a baby for reasons that have more to do with money than with love. When her attempts at pregnancy fail, she turns to Jules and Annie to make her dreams come true.

But each of their plans is thrown into disarray when Bettina, Marcus’s privileged daughter, becomes suspicious that her new stepmother is not what she seems . . .

Cerita ini berfokus kepada kehidupan 4 orang perempuan di atas. Yang menarik ialah setiap chapter hanya fokus kepada kehidupan seorang dari mereka, jadi tajuk setiap chapter adalah nama karakter utama cerita ini. Contohnya chapter pertama bertajuk "Jules" dan chapter kedua adalah "Annie" dan seterusnya. Pada mula-mula mereka diceritakan sebagai individu yang tiada kaitan tetapi semakin lama kita semakin nampak "titik pertemuan" mereka.

Masing-masing punya kisah masing-masing yang berlainan yang kebanyakannya berkisar kepada kewangan.Tetapi mereka akhirnya mempunyai satu persamaan iaitu, semuanya sayang dan jatuh cinta dengan bayi yang dilahirkan.

Cerita yang menarik tentang kehidupan. :)
