Lucie Yi Is Not a Romantic

An ambitious career woman signs up for a co-parenting website only to find a match she never expected, in this smart and engaging novel from the author of Last Tang Standing. Management consultant Lucie Yi is done waiting for Mr. Right. After a harrowing breakup foiled her plans for children—and drove her to a meltdown in a Tribeca baby store—she’s ready to take matters into her own hands. She signs up for an elective co-parenting website to find a suitable partner with whom to procreate—as platonic as family planning can be! Collin Read checks all of Lucie’s boxes; he shares the same cultural background, he's honest, and most importantly, he’s ready to become a father. When they match, it doesn’t take long for Lucie to take a leap of faith for her future. So what if her overbearing family might not approve? A positive pregnancy test later, the pair return to Singapore and sure enough, her parents refuse to look on the bright side. Even more complicated, Lucie’s ex-fiancé reappears, unresolved feelings pulling her in a million different directions. Suddenly her straightforward arrangement is falling apart before her very eyes, and Lucie will have to decide how to juggle the demands of the people she loves while pursuing a family of her own.
