I recently started Dorothy Koomson's My Best Friend's Girl, but I didn't make it past the first chapter. Not because it was bad, but because it was too sad. I just couldn't read it.
Thankfully (because I loved Marshmallows for Breakfast), Dorothy has a new book coming soon(ish).
Goodnight, Beautiful is the story of Nova Kumalisi, who would do anything for her closest friend, Mal. So, when he asked her to be the surrogate mother for him and his wife, Nova agreed, in spite of her fears about how it would alter their friendship. Eight years later, Nova is bringing up their son alone, and she and Mal don't speak.
"Now, seven-year-old Leo is critically ill and Nova, despite her anger and hurt, wants Mal to have the chance to know his son before it?s too late. Will it take a tragedy to remind them how much they mean to each other?"
Nope. Don't think I'm going to be able to read Goodnight, Beautiful either. How about you?
