fullDescription

The novel your book club must discuss!
Meghann Foye was interviewed on The TODAY Show and The View regarding her new book Meternity.
"A fresh, contemporary take on love and work, marriage and motherhood, Meternity is guaranteed to surprise and delight!" —Emily Giffin, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Something Borrowed and First Comes Love
Like everyone in New York media, editor Liz Buckley runs on cupcakes, caffeine and cocktails. But at thirty-one, she's plateaued at Paddy Cakes, a glossy baby magazine that flogs thousand-dollar strollers to entitled, hypercompetitive spawn-havers.
Liz has spent years working a gazillion hours a week picking up the slack for coworkers with kids, and she's tired of it. So one day when her stress-related nausea is mistaken for morning sickness by her bosses—boom! Liz is promoted to the mommy track. She decides to run with it and plans to use her paid time off to figure out her life: work, love and otherwise. It'll be her "meternity" leave.
By day, Liz rocks a foam-rubber belly under fab maternity outfits. By night, she dumps the bump for karaoke nights and boozy dinners out. But how long can she keep up her charade…and hide it from the guy who might just be The One?
As her "due date" approaches, Liz is exhausted—and exhilarated—by the ruse, the guilt and the feelings brought on by a totally fictional belly-tenant…about happiness, success, family and the nature of love.

     At age 31, Liz Buckley has already accomplished three of her goals: living in New York, being an editor at a magazine, and learning French, which she never uses. But she’s exhausted from the pressure of her Upper East Side nemesis, Alix Stephenson: her boss at baby magazine Paddy Cakes, who has kept her from getting to the other 17 goals—which include meeting a PH (potential husband), getting married, and having kids. So when a mix-up involving a pair of comfortable maternity jeans leads Alix to believe Liz is pregnant, she decides to go with it. After all, it seems like “having a child is really the only excuse a woman can use to work regular hours or leave early.” With the help of her friends and progressively bigger memory-foam bumps, Liz plans on taking a “meternity” leave—some time off to figure out what she wants. In the midst of juggling this lie and questioning her life, she meets Ryan Murphy, who just might be the PH she’s looking for. Readers will be turning the pages and rooting for Liz, knowing that even though no baby is coming out, the truth eventually will. Agent: Emma Parry, Janklow & Nesbit Associates.

     Liz Buckley is an editor at the New York City-based parenting magazine Paddy Cakes. As one of the last childless employees there, she ends up picking up the slack of her coworkers who have children. On a particularly stressful day, Liz gets sick in the office and it is mistaken as morning sickness, which she does not deny. Wanting to know how the other half lives, she goes full force with the lie, having monthly bumps made, wearing maternity couture, and brushing up on pregnancy symptoms. Dashing off to "doctor's appointments," Liz gets manicures, lives the night life (sans bump), and meets men along the way. She is looking forward to her very own "meternity," six weeks of paid leave in which she plans on figuring out what she really wants. In her fiction debut, Foye brings to life a pertinent issue that runs across all industries, which boils down to how women are treated in the workplace. What makes this story distinct is that Liz's "pregnancy" results in her being an even harder worker, earning a prestigious award and a promised promotion. VERDICT Full of moments that will leave readers in suspense, gasping at consequences, and rooting for the heroine as she finds her own meternity, this book is perfect for fans of Candace Bushnell.--Erin Holt, Williamson Cty. P.L., Franklin, TN

     Singleton Liz, an editor at a parenting magazine, is getting tired of taking on all the extra work from the moms in the office. She's particularly annoyed that the editor who got the promotion Liz was in line for is constantly leaving work early so she can deal with her family life. When the boss thinks that Liz is pregnanthe sees her using a pregnancy-countdown app that she's downloaded for an articleLiz decides this might be the way to an easier workload and perhaps even some maternity leave, a meternity. The plan involves a series of fake baby bumps, which Liz just barely gets away with. Add trying to juggle two romantic interestswhile hiding any evidence of a pregnancy from them bothand attempting to score a new job without her coworkers knowing she's looking, and Liz has a pretty full plate. Foye, an editor at Redbook, knows the industry and the New York scene, lending authenticity to this light read.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
