By: Lauren Ho

Format: 416 pages, Paperback

An ambitious career woman signs up for a co-parenting website only to find a match she never expect…

"Her parents hate that she isn’t married,"
-Lauren Ho, Lucie Yi Is Not a Romantic
"When she was younger, she naively believed that one fell in love, by chance, by fate’s mysterious orchestration and machinations. That it was just something that happened to you. A bone that, if you were lucky, the universe threw your way once in a lifetime to balance out the awful, and more than once if you were extraordinarily blessed. But that wasn’t true— love was intention; love was hard work, an overgrown destination you had to clear your way to, chainsaws blazing."
