Finola has the picture perfect life, until her husband drops the bomb that he is cheating on her. Oh yeah and the person she is about to interview on live TV, the famous singer, is his mistress. Finola's life is turned upside down as she had just decided she was ready to settle down and have a family. Problem is she didn't inform her husband of this fact, also it was probably already to late considering he was having an affair. 

Zennie just ended her relationship, it was no big deal to her. She wasn't in love and she's nowhere near ready to settle down. She decides while she is single and unattached she can do her best friend the favor of a lifetime and be her surrogate. The decision is made on a whim, and Zennie immediately has some regrets once she is pregnant. She doesn't want the baby or the husband, she just wants her unattached, junk food eating, working out regulary lifestyle back. 

Ali was just dumped 2 weeks before her wedding, not by the groom but by his brother. Although she never thought that she really loved her fiancee, she loved that he loved her. Now with so much to do to cancel the wedding plans, and Glen nowhere to be found, Daniel is helping her overcome her heartbreak. Apparently he has been in love with his brothers fiancee for years...now she loves him to. 

The book was decent. The story went fast, but I didn't feel a real connection with any of the characters. While I liked the story, I doubt I'll remember it in 3 months.
