When eccentric painter Juan Longorio Jay Novello paints a mural of a naked woman on the side of a barn it places him and Bronson in trouble with the owner, Sid Casper, and the city locals.

Still, more problematic than defacing private property, the painting causes emotional anguish to Sid, the deputy sheriff Hud McCarver, and Will Hudson, because they all think the painting is a picture perfect representation of their respective wives. Bronson travels to see his cousin Eve Bronson in Reno, Nevada. Jim gives his cousin money to buy a wedding dress but Eve impetuously chooses to gamble with the money at a nearby casino and catches "the fever". Eve's absence delays the wedding plans and Len confides to Bronson about his upcoming marriage and life. Then, he is rescued and taken back to his own, future time.

The rest of the book plays that outhow would a person react to such a change? How would the powers that be react? How can you reconcile two lives in two times? When I finished reading this, I felt satisfiedby a good story, details that made the future seem like a real and not that far away place, and a finished feeling endingnot an ending like that many recent novels have, that leaves you guessing.

I give this book five stars for being a great read for those who like both relationship stories and time travel. That's my formula for a "must-read". I've always had a difficult time keeping up with books about time travel, especially when the characters bounce between time, as does this one.

However, Mike Chen somehow makes it easy to follow. At the same time, he makes it exciting to read. There are no boring pages in this book. This is his first book, and I look forward to seeing more of his work. While a lot of books and series have fun with the novelty of time travel, this book takes an interesting look at the effects of the paradoxes of time travel on relationships.

Kin Stewart is a time traveling enforcement field agent. He goes where and when he is assigned to prevent time traveling criminals from making alterations to the past. Then he underestimates one of those criminals and when she shoots him, she disables the transponder his colleagues would have used to come and retrieve him.

Stranded in the past, Kin's mind struggles with the confusion of two "realities," and he suffers from horrible headaches and, gradually, memory loss. Making a new life in the past, he changes the future. This is a pretty well-written story. I deducted one star because the beginning is pretty disorganized and almost lost me entirely, something that is not very easy to do I'm pretty dogged when it comes to finishing a book I've said I'd review!

I was glad I stuck with it. However, I found the ending a bit too pat, and, overall, the story just seemed to lack passion One person found this helpful. I enjoy a good time travel story. Time-travel stories can have good yarns, but the characters are not usually the focal point of the story, unless they are deliberate caricatures drawn for a laugh. This book is an exception in having sympathetic characters whose personal feelings are what drives the action.

Kin Stewart is not trying to kill Hitler or stop the Kennedy assassination. He is just a father going to any length to give his daughter a happy life, and Chen makes us care enough that we want to stick it out to see if he succeeds. As a result, I plan to recommend this book to friends who do not usually read SF.

What is common in SF is action, especially big turbulent action-heavy denouements. They are popular but often cliched, and personally they often bore me. The denouement in this book is full of action, as expected. It is also clever and a surprise I am willing to bet it will surprise you, too! An author writing speculative fiction has a big challenge that is not a real problem for other authors.

I found this book rather flat, with a lot of cookie cutter characters. The book is told from a number of perspectives, but none of the voices really come to life. The whole thing really felt contrived, as if the author said "Surrogacy and egg donations - I bet a story about that would sell! Gostei muito da sua leitura e recomendo.

Sep 18, Susan rated it really liked it Shelves: Yes, it is one of those books that women love to take along to the beach for an easy read, but this one will surprise you - it is much better written than that classification. This is the story of four women whose lives become entwined by circumstance one baby and the story unfolds via each character giving voice to a chapter one after the other. The book begins with Jules' narrative. She is a student at Princeton - blonde, bright, beautiful and athletic - everything one could wish for in an egg donor.

Needing a large sum of money to rescue her father from an untenable situation, she agrees to donate eggs to an infertile couple. The second narrator is Annie, a woman in her early 20s with two young children of her own already, she agrees to become a surrogate, both to financially help her struggling family and because she is a natural "mother". Next we are introduced to Bettina, the privileged only daughter of billionaire Marcus Croft, who was devastated when his wife left him to follow her guru to an ashram in New Mexico. She seeks to protect him being hurt again and is distrustful of his new, much younger wife She develops a relationship with Annie when she is carrying her husband's child.

To this mix, add the back stories of each character, their individual family dynamics and one unforeseen glitch to the plan that has huge repercussions for all the women. The author does a very good job holding your interest and the fact that this is an easy read, does nothing to negate the moral and psychological issues it raises. I found this to be an enjoyable read, my favorite of Jennifer Weiner's, and I would recommend it.

At the bookstore, it was stuck somewhere between Mystery, Fiction and Romance. Glad I picked it up on a whim. Such a satisfying read, easy to lose yourself in the lives of these women.

P more then once Aug 16, Maureen Ann rated it it was amazing. I think this might have been my favorite of Jennifer Weiner's books to date - and that says a lot since Good In Bed has topped my list since it was published! This book was both complex and relatable and the characters were more real than any of her previous books. Weiner consistently writes imperfect, yet still likable, characters which makes her work more interesting. However, in this book, the characters were not only imperfect but downright unlikable at times.

They did things that were far ou I think this might have been my favorite of Jennifer Weiner's books to date - and that says a lot since Good In Bed has topped my list since it was published! They did things that were far outside of my comfort zone, but still managed to come back to a place where you could like them.

One of the themes of this book is that idea that "it takes a village" but in this case, it was not necessarily about raising a child. The book perfectly expressed that no matter who we are, no matter what material possessions we may have, we are never truly autonomous. We need others in our lives to live fully. When we try to exist without that human connection, we are not necessarily living life fully. On the other side, this book explored the complex emotional and ethical considerations that go into choosing to have a baby, and the medical interventions that are sometimes required to make that dream a reality.

From that perspective, there are many reasons both for and against, but somehow Weiner managed to write the story without obvious bias. Jul 04, catharine rated it it was ok Shelves: I was pondering what kinds of books men read that women don't, in the effort to come up with a less derogatory term than Chick-Lit for this book.

Nick suggested that the corollary is spy or adventure fiction, in which men are faced with dangers, intrigue, and beautiful women. I think this is accurate in that women like to be confronted with novels in which women are strong and rise to challenges, but are more realistic that the challenges they face are likely to be things like paying rent and fi I was pondering what kinds of books men read that women don't, in the effort to come up with a less derogatory term than Chick-Lit for this book.

I think this is accurate in that women like to be confronted with novels in which women are strong and rise to challenges, but are more realistic that the challenges they face are likely to be things like paying rent and finding a community of support. There's also an aspect of gossip and voyeurism involved, where it is fun to watch and judge people for their choices.

Whatever you call it, Weiner is one of my favorite authors writing these kinds of novels, and I respect her just as much as Le Carre or John Grisham, or even Jeffrey Eugenides as he proved out in The Marriage Plot. It's interesting to watch 4 women's stories come together as they all, in their own way, become mothers, but the novel was a bit disappointing in its lack of depth into the positives, and more about how women abandoned by their mothers are half-constructed, flawed creatures.

May 26, Dr. This book is okay. There was a lot that could have been done with this book, but it failed to satisfy me. The concept was brilliant total strangers who become intertwined over a IVF baby. The story built steadily and logically.

The characters becoming involved with each other made sense. But the climax was just therenothing special. And the anti-climax could have been something brilliant but it didn't leave me breathless either. This is definite "chick lit". It has a lot of discussion topics This book is okay. It has a lot of discussion topics for reading groups about serious topics for today's woman.

I won't say this book good or badI just felt very neutral. Weiner;s other books, this one felt as if rushed writing it because the story wasn't developed enough for me. I would recommend this for reading groups because of the discussion topics the book contains as well as the potential the book contained that wasn't developed. I wouldn't recommend this book for a pleasurable read. It lacked too much to satisfy me. There are too many excellent books to waste time and money on this average book.

Aug 24, Emily rated it it was ok Shelves: I still can't tell you what made me want to pick up this book, since I so rarely read grown-up books. But pick it up I did. And it was okay.

But it wasn't great. My biggest complaint is that there wasn't a good way to tell how much time had passed in the story. Other than the epilogue, which had a year attached to it, I have no idea how much time passed in the story, and certainly not from one chapter to the next. In fact, things that were mentioned in one chapter would not have happened yet in t I still can't tell you what made me want to pick up this book, since I so rarely read grown-up books. In fact, things that were mentioned in one chapter would not have happened yet in the next chapter, though to be fair, the chapters rotated in perspective of each of the 4 main characters.

But still, I shouldn't have to guess at how many years transpired over the course of a few chapters or the whole book. I also felt like the story was incredibly slow to get going. Some of the characters didn't ring true to me, even after learning all of the backstory. Really, especially after knowing the backstory. And the ending was a little too happy-with-a-big-bow-wrapped-around-it for me. Jul 21, Leslie rated it it was ok. I gave this just 2 stars because I think I would have liked the book better if Ms.

Weiner had focused more on the 4 women interacting, than on their individual stories. Until the climax, it is slow reading of a lot of background. While this is necessary for character development, it was a bit I gave this just 2 stars because I think I would have liked the book better if Ms. While this is necessary for character development, it was a bit too much and detracted from the meat of the story.

It just fell flat for me - too slow, too tidy of an ending, and not enough interaction of the characters to really understand how each person's individual decision affected the other, and ultimately, how those decisions affected the newly formed and unexpected relationships that had to be forged. Jul 26, Katie rated it did not like it Shelves: I hated this book. I loved it; I loved In Her Shoes.

I thought I'd be a Weiner fan for a long time, but have started to lose interest in the past few books, maybe growing out of her writing, maybe a declining quality in the books - which ever. Not only did I hate this book, but I hated myself for slogging through every single superficial, poorly written, contrived page. There's an audience for this kind of book and the other ra I hated this book.

There's an audience for this kind of book and the other ratings seem to reflect that, so I guess I'm just in the minority here. If you like Candace Bushnell and can sympathize with pretty unlikable characters I now know that I'm done with Weiner and won't subject myself to another one of these. Jul 04, Gina Beirne rated it it was amazing Shelves: Jennifer Weiner keeps getting better and better. A very complex story about issues that haven't been tackled often in mainstream women's fiction. I loved all the stories of the women in this book. It's not often that I cry over a book, bur I did this one.

I simultaneously didn't want it to end AND wanted to know what was going to happen. Then Came you is a gut-tightening, bone-melting "What I was learning was that having felt, sometimes, less satisfying than wanting, that dreaming of all this luxury was somehow better than actually possessing it, because once you had it, it could all be taken away. Then Came you is a gut-tightening, bone-melting, heart-fluttering tale of four different women in their quest for love and longing, for financial contentment and security, and how they struggle with their problems and deal with the harsh reality of life in their usual aplomb.

She needs money and in the grand scheme of things, she agrees to sell her "pedigree eggs" to save her father from alcohol addiction. I lived my life like a meal that had been set in front of me, never asking if there were other choices or even if I was hungry. I had a decent-size investment account, a nicely diversified portfolio that hadn't taken too hard a hit in the latest downturn, but it wasn't even close to being a true-fuck you money, and true-fuck you money was one thing I was sure I wanted.

Money, and what it could buy, what it could do, what it could keep you safe. She thinks that Marcus Croft is the real deal, a prized possession straight up from a treasure chest, that he's "the one" that she's been looking for, to bail her out of the gutter, that is. Her only wish is her father's happiness more than anything in the world and she will do everything to protect him from the Wicked Witch of the East.

Bettina and Jules both want their families back. India wants the promise of security forever. Annie wants to be the giver instead not the taker. I felt their own loss and it weighed me down just a little and I suddenly wonder about the loss itself and what loss and what even the threat of loss can do to a person. I can never imagine how it is like, losing someone you dearly love. I have already lost two of my favorite persons in my life and I cannot even begin to imagine losing any of my loved ones now.

Then Came You

India Bishop is by far my favourite character in the story. That must have shocked you, I suppose. I thought she's the kind of female character to face life with either a shallow laugh, or a sharp retort, but never in tears. Boy, was I wrong? Yes, she made me furiously mad at her. I would curse, smirk, and laugh at her face and I think marrying someone for the sake of money is a bit of a letdown unless you already have enough triumphs in that department then it's safe to conclude that nothing is impossible in this world if you have the "assets" and scheming abilities, you know the works.

But, to be honest, or candid, whatever, she stands out to me than the rest of them because love changed her. After the deluge I was reminded again that the real world isn't at all black or white that some journeys have to really be heartbreaking and painful, but the ones that are, are also life-changing. India's point of view made me believe that people like her deserves a second chance to start over. It also made me understand that some people have it harder than the rest of us and that a trip through this world can be both exhilarating and terrifying ride at the same time.

Overall, it's a tender and thought-provoking read. It will test your faith, your beliefs about procreation and urge you to do a little introspection about how much you can give up for the sake of money and how far will you go. The author cleverly pulls you in and tugs your heartstrings you never know you have, making you feel like you're part of their clique. The characters are very relatable you end up really invested in their stories.

They become so real to you as if you can hear their voice, feel their anguish, reel over their happiness and all you can do is grab your quivering heart with a rare intensity. A few shudders and choking sobs later, I hugged my pillow against my chest and took a deep breath, glad of the small reprieve for it ended just like I'd imagined. Who would have thought that a new baby, this innocent little creature could bring hope and ties them together, perhaps, it's true that life is what happens when you least expect it.

Ah, what a wonderful thing, this feeling, to be emotionally satisfied and yet full of wonder. I finally realized who the woman is in the cover and I feel another wave of loneliness settle throughout my body again. Sometimes all you need is a picture to speak for itself. I choose this song, I Found The Reason , because I think it pretty much explains everything that what comes is better than before and that things will get better eventually. How can something so beautiful as this song feels oddly refreshing and woefully short?

Every morning, he'd brought me tea and kissed me, "You're my favorite person in the world," he would say. What will become of me? Soundtrack of the day: May 06, Cheryl rated it really liked it.

India is married to weathly Marcus Croft. They have been trying to have a child.

After two miscarriages, they decide to use a surrogate. Everything is looking up for India and Marcus until Marcus's daughter, Bettina finds out the truth about who India really is. I felt the most connected to Annie. She is a good mother and wife. She was warm and friendly. The other person that I connected with in tbe beginning was Jules. She had a good heart. She still wanted to beleive that her father could be cured.

I must admit that I did not see where her romantic relationship was headed. It was out of left field at first.
