Beschreibung
An ambitious career woman signs up for a co-parenting website only to find a match she never expected, in this smart and engaging novel from the author of Last Tang Standing.

Management consultant Lucie Yi is done waiting for Mr. Right. After a harrowing breakup foiled her plans for children-and drove her to a meltdown in a Tribeca baby store-she's ready to take matters into her own hands. So, she signs up for a co-parenting website to find a suitable partner to procreate with-platonically, through science!

Collin Reid checks all of Lucie's boxes: successful career, anti-marriage, same cultural background, and most importantly, he's ready to become a father. When they match, it doesn't take long for Lucie to take a leap of faith for her future. So what if her overbearing family might not approve? A positive pregnancy test later, the pair return to Singapore and sure enough, her parents refuse to look on the bright side. What's worse, Lucie's ex-fiancé reappears, unresolved feelings pulling her in a million different directions. Suddenly her perfect arrangement is falling apart before her very eyes, and Lucie will have to decide how to juggle the demands of the people she loves while pursuing a family of her own.

Über den Autor
Lauren Ho is a reformed legal counsel who now prefers to write for pleasure. Hailing from Malaysia, she is currently based in Singapore, where she's ostensibly working on her next novel while attempting to parent. She is also the author of Last Tang Standing.
Zusammenfassung
A TERRIFIC FOLLOW-UP: Despite publishing into the pandemic, sales for Lauren Ho's first novel, Last Tang Standing, were solid, and it stacked up rave reviews from the trades, who called it an "escapist pleasure" (Library Journal) and "wholly original" (BookPage). We expect new and old fans alike to come to LUCIE YI IS NOT A ROMANTIC.

AN IDEAL BOOK CLUB READ: Still light-hearted and romantic at heart, LUCIE YI IS NOT A ROMANTIC tackles complex themes of motherhood, single parenthood, and family obligation.

A FRESH PERSPECTIVE: As with Last Tang Standing, Lauren Ho's background as a lawyer living in Singapore shines through on the page, and readers and booksellers will be drawn to her refreshingly original voice in the women's fiction and romcom spaces.

PERFECT SUMMER NOVEL: The trade paperback format is conducive to attracting a wide commercial readership, and the romance, familial drama, journey of self-discovery, and snappy voice also make LUCIE YI IS NOT A ROMANTIC an ideal beach read.
