The Best Worst Thing

When a thirty-something infertility podcaster discovers her husband is having an affair, she finds herself at the doorstep of a former colleague she never could quite forget. But when she learns her surrogate has finally become pregnant, she’s forced to come to terms with her past and her unique path to motherhood . . . all while falling in love with someone new.
