Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review.

This book was not what I expected. I kept expecting Evelyn to take a sinister turn or perhaps a Single White Female-ish twist, but nothing like that really ever happened. It was a good, if mostly uneventful, read, with great writing and descriptions of clothing, plus a fun little surprise at the end. 3.5 stars.

This is a very enjoyable novel about a very serious issue, infertility and surrogacy. When Evelyn walks into the vintage clothing shop and meets Nora, there is an instant, special connection. When Evelyn wants to do something for Nora, it is a favor that is remarkable and unforgettable.

Evelyn takes on the role of a surrogate and despite some turmoil, this novel is extremely satisfying for those of us who understand the ache for parenthood and the heartbreak when it is denied. The characters are very sympathetic. My fear is that there are a few too many characters crammed into this book.

Thank you Netgalley for this very timely and charming ARC.
