I do enjoy Tess Stimson's slightly darker take on the chick lit genre. This book is to be released in July of this year.
Synopsis reads…
Clare Elias feels more than ready to conquer being a parent. She's already mastered the business world, running a flourishing chain of boutique flower shops. Her husband, Marc, is handsome, successful, supportive – and nearly a decade her junior. Clare is at the top of her game, so how hard can motherhood be?
Then the babies come – both of them. And Clare finds herself in the midst of the crisis faced by every woman who's ever tried to Have It All. She's sworn she won't have her children raised by nannies the way her inattentive mother did, but when help arrives in the form of pretty, young, hyperefficient Jenna, Clare has no idea that bringing this stranger into her family will change everything. As Marc becomes distant and secretive and, worst of all, one of her babies gets sick, Clare – and Jenna – must make the kinds of heartwrenching decisions that no woman wants to face.
