Adult & contemporary romance

From the million-copy internationally bestselling author comes a new adult novel about a woman who must choose between the one that got away - and her ex-husband, who won't go away either. . .

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?

The New York Times once called Rainbow Rowell \""talented enough to be uncategorizable.\"" She writes novels, comics, short stories . . . She's a #1 New York Times bestseller several times over, wrote an Indies Choice Book of the Year, and is a three-time Goodreads Choice Award winner. The thread that runs through all Rowell's work is her sunlit, knife-sharp empathy and unflagging sense of humor. She writes about life - and usually love - in a way that feels painfully, wonderfully real. Visit rainbowrowell.com to learn more.

Reviews for Cherry Baby

Anything by Rainbow Rowell goes straight to the top of my TBR - and I adored this one. She writes real, complex, messy love like nobody else. Tender and insightful, this love story will stay with me for a long time. -- Beth O'Leary
