Produktbeschreibung
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. Story Locale: New York City, Singapore

Rezensionen
Praise for LUCIE YI IS NOT A ROMANTIC:

'If Jane Austen and Kevin Kwan had a love child, it might well be LUCIE YI IS NOT A ROMANTIC. Lauren Ho's most recent novel sits delightfully at the juncture of modern fertility, modern women, and modern romance' JODI PICOULT

'LUCIE YI IS NOT A ROMANTIC kept me gripped from the very first page. It's full of humour and heart' BETH O'LEARY

'Lucie Yi is not a romantic but she is funny, clever and utterly compelling. A razor sharp story of family, friendship and love in all its many forms, I devoured Lucie Yi in a single sitting. Lauren Ho's writing is so witty and relatable, I would read her shopping list if she published it' LINDSEY KELK

'Smart, funny, heartfelt and definitely romantic - I loved it!' SARAH MORGAN

'Fresh, funny and thought-provoking - Lucie Yi is a romantic heroine for the 21st century' SOPHIE COUSENS

'A gloriously entertaining and completely addictive read. Warm, sharply-observed and wickedly funny' NICOLA GILL

'A beautiful exploration of both grief and romance starring a lovably hilarious heroine' Kirkus Reviews

'With her signature warmth and wit, Lauren Ho explores the trials of elective parenting, pregnancy, dating and family conflicts. Lucie Yi is certainly not a romantic, but she navigates her relationships and friendships with love, generosity and vulnerability. This is a hilarious and honest novel about a woman living on her own terms' BALLI KAUR JASWAL, author of Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows

'a story of love and friendship, humour and sadness, and, above all, of being true to yourself' My Weekly
