Description
The California sunshine's not quite so bright for three sisters who get dumped in the same week...
Finola, a popular LA morning-show host, is famously upbeat until she's blindsided on live TV by the news that her husband is sleeping with a young pop sensation who has set their affair to music. While avoiding the tabloids and pretending she's just fine, she's crumbling inside, desperate for him to come to his senses and for life to go back to normal.
Zennie's breakup is no big loss. Although the world insists she pair up, she'd rather be surfing. So agreeing to be the surrogate for her best friend is a no-brainer—after all, she has an available womb and no other attachments to worry about. Except...when everyone else, including her big sister, thinks she's making a huge mistake, being pregnant is a lot lonelier—and more complicated—than she imagined.
Never the tallest, thinnest or prettiest sister, Ali is used to being overlooked, but when her fiancé sends his disapproving brother to call off the wedding, it's a new low. And yet Daniel continues to turn up "for support," making Ali wonder if maybe—for once—someone sees her in a way no one ever has.
But side by side by side, these sisters will start over and rebuild their lives with all the affection, charm and laugh-out-loud humor that is classic Susan Mallery.
Don't miss New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's heartwarming summer novel, The Summer Book Club, where conversations over a glass of wine turns into something much more in this journey of motherhood, friendship and love.

          Life is not all sunny for three California sisters. Reigning talk-show host Finola learns that her husband is having an affair with a hot new pop singer. Surfer girl Zennie agrees to be a surrogate mother, but it's no easy wave to ride. And modest Ali is reeling after her fiancé sends his brother to break off the engagement. At least the brother keeps coming around. With a 350,000-copy paperback and 10,000-copy hardcover first printing.

          Three sisters suffer breakups and survive to thrive in Mallery's (Sisters like Us, 2018) latest, as she alternates between women's fiction and romance. Finola, a morning TV host, is told by her husband, right before a show, that he's having an affair. Her guest is a rising musician who tells Finola that she's her husband's mistress. Zennie's fourth date with Clark ends when he tells her he knows she doesn't see him as boyfriend material, leaving her wondering what she does want. Ali's fianc� sends his brother, Daniel, to break up with her just weeks before their wedding, and lets her deal with canceling everything. Zennie's decision to become a surrogate for an infertile friend sparks discussion, and painful truths emerge about her sisters and family as they each examine the steps that led to their current predicaments. Mallery brings her signature humor and style to this moving story of strong women who help each other deal with realistic challenges, a tale as appealing as the fiction of Debbie Macomber and Anne Tyler.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
