Not many novels tackle surrogacy and especially not in a romantic comedy setting but this works brilliantly. When Ally agrees to act as surrogate to her sister the pregnancy helps to highlight the fragile state that all the family relationships have reached. Tensions mount, tempers flare and hearts are being wrenched in all directions. Some decisions in life should not be taken too lightly but then in this case perhaps doing just that makes everything work out for the best. Another great read from Zoe Barnes.

Zoë Barnes was born and brought up on Merseyside, where legend has it her skirt once fell off during a school performance of 'Dido and Aeneas'. According to her family, she has been making an exhibition of herself ever since.
