Lucie Yi Is Not a Romantic
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
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 a similar cultural background, he’s honest, and most important, 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 conservative family might not approve? When Lucie becomes pregnant, 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, sparking unresolved feelings and compounding work pressures and the baffling ways her body is changing. 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 the life she really wants.

A pragmatic woman takes a shortcut to motherhood in this lopsided romance from Ho (Last Tang Standing). Career-driven New Yorker Lucie Yi has given up on love, but a breakdown in a children’s boutique has her realizing she still longs to be a mother. She signs up for a website that connects individuals interested in platonic co-parenting arrangements and hits it off with charming software engineer Collin Read. After “parent-dating,” they agree to try for a kid. Though Lucie is determined to keep things platonic, deeming Collin “Mr. Right Enough,” she can’t deny the spark between them, especially after their passionate attempt at conceiving is successful. The introduction and execution of this premise feel rushed and thrown together, but things take a turn for the better when Collin moves with Lucie back to Singapore, where Lucie is reunited with her old flame, Mark Thum. Torn between the man from her past and the man who could be her future, Lucie must decide what she’s willing to risk for the life she wants. Ho hits her stride in this second act, introducing a larger cast and a meatier plot and peeling back her characters’ layers. Readers will have to stick with this to get to the goods. Agent: Katelyn Detweiler, Jill Grinberg Literary.
