When I was in college, I read all of Jennifer Weiner's books and absolutely loved them. I still have some of those old ones in my personal collection. I haven't read as many of her newer ones. For no particular reason - there are so many books I want to read, found other authors, she is more popular and her books aren't always in at the library. However, I managed to find one at the book sale this summer. It was one that I had already tried once to listen to unsuccessfully. Last weekend I finally finished Then Came You.
This book was one of the ones that I did struggle to get into. Then through the middle I really disliked some of the characters and was thinking I'm really going to hate this book. But then she wraps it up well even those its not a total happy ending. Not one of my favorites of hers but it was still a great read that I would recommend to anyone who has enjoyed Weiner's other books.
Then Came You is written from the perspective of four different women. Jules is a college senior at Princeton when the book begins who will do anything to help her addict father, even sell her eggs. Annie is a housewife determined to make a better life for her young family, even becoming a surrogate. India is recently married to a wealthy New York businessman who has spent the better part of her life striving to be what she is not. And Bettina is the daughter of the wealthy businessman who thinks her new stepmother did not marry her father for love but money and having a baby with him is her way of securing the deal.
That baby brings all four women together with the help of Jules and Annie. Ultimately, all four women end up becoming a much more involved in the baby's life other than the anticipated anonymous egg donor and one-time surrogate. The path of each one leading up to the baby's birth is anything but simple. Read Then Came You to find out what happens for Jules, Annie, India and Bettina and the baby that each of these women love so much.
Happy Reading!
