Josh and Gemma Make A Baby
Josh and Gemma Make A Baby: A Novel | Sarah Ready
5 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
New Year's Resolution:Have a baby Preferably with Josh Lewenthal Meet Gemma Jacobs. She's driven, energetic, and a positive thinker. She has a great career working for famed self-help guru Ian Fortune, she lives in a cute studio apartment in Manhattan, and her family is supportive and loving (albeit a little kooky). Her life is perfect. Absolutely wonderful. Except for one tiny little thing. After a decade of disastrous relationships and an infertility diagnosis, Gemma doesn't want a Mr. Right (or even a Mr. Right Now), she just wants a baby. And all she needs is an egg, some sperm, and IVF. So Gemma makes a New Year's resolution: have a baby. Josh Lewenthal is a laid back, relaxed, find-the-humor-in-life kind of guy. The polar opposite of Gemma. He's also her brother's best friend. For the past twenty years Josh has attended every Jacobs' family birthday, holiday, and event - he's always around. Gemma knows him. He's nice (enough), he's funny (-ish), he's healthy (she thinks) and he didn't burn any ants with a magnifying glass as a kid. Which, in Gemma's mind, makes him the perfect option for a sperm donor. So Gemma wants to make a deal. An unemotional, businesslike arrangement. No commitments, just a baby. To Gemma's surprise, Josh agrees. They have nothing in common, except their agreement to make a baby and their desire to keep things businesslike. But the thing about baby-making? it's hard to keep it businesslike, it's nearly impossible to keep it unemotional, and it's definitely impossible to keep your heart out of the mix. Because when you're making a baby together, things have a way of starting to feel like you're making other things too- like a life, and a family, and love. And when the baby-making ends, you wish that everything else didn't have to end too.

Clwojick 20 mins in, and giggling over the author giving a character “Buttkiss” as a last name. 2y

So much to like about Josh and Gemma. There were times I laughed out loud, but there were so a few tears. Sarah Ready did the issue of infertility justice in this one. While the main focus is on Gemma and how she is handling things, you do meet other women with different stories and perspectives.
