Cherry Baby

€18.50

Tom’s the creator of Thursday, a comic strip that’s become an international phenomenon. It’s semi-autobiographical, which unfortunately means there’s a character based on Cherry. ‘Baby’. Wide-hipped, double-chinned Baby. Cherry never wanted this. No fat girl wants to see herself caricatured on the page – let alone the big screen. But there’s no getting away from it. Baby looks so much like Cherry, strangers recognise her at the store. While Tom’s in L.A., getting rich and famous and being the Internet’s latest boyfriend, Cherry’s stuck taking care of the dog he always wanted and the house they were going to raise a family in – and wondering who she’s supposed to be without him. Until the night Cherry ventures out to see her favourite band play, and someone recognises her from across the room.

Description

Pre-order the big-hearted, grown-up new novel about love and second chances from million-copy international bestselling author Rainbow Rowell

Praise for Rainbow Rowell:

'Extraordinary humour and tenderness'
Curtis Sittenfeld

'Sweet, sexy, wise and nostalgic'
Gabrielle Zevin

‘So hot and delicious, so funny and smart and real. What a gift!’
Catherine Newman

'Rainbow Rowell is a damn genius'

'Gorgeous . . . I read it in one sitting’

Cherry and Tom had built a quiet, contented life together in Omaha, until Tom’s semi-autobiographical webcomic went viral and turned their marriage into public property.

Now the world knows Baby, the character based on Cherry, better than Cherry knows herself – and Tom and Cherry have been separated for months.

That’s when Russ Sutton shows up. Floppy-haired, blue-eyed Russ Sutton, who Cherry had a crush on in college, and who now seems to have a crush on her.

All that’s left is for Cherry to rewrite her own story. Because if she isn’t Baby, and she isn’t Tom’s wife, then who can she be?

Told with deep tenderness and abundant wit, Cherry Baby is Rainbow Rowell's most affecting, most surprising, sexiest novel yet.
