What Came First
Carol Snow
I don’t know how I JUST discovered author Carol Snow but I’m so glad that I did. Her latest novel, What Came First (out last week!) is a delightful book about marriage, love, sperm donors, and … chickens in the backyard? Hmmm….
Here’s a blurb:
Vanessa wants just one thing for her twenty-ninth birthday: an engagement ring from her longtime boyfriend, Eric. But when the ring turns out to be a mix CD and Eric turns out to be a guy who doesn't want to get married or have children, Vanessa considers a new path to having a family.
When Wendy and her husband, Darren, couldn't have children the old- fashioned way, a sperm donor seemed like the perfect solution. She never imagined she'd have out-of-control twins who'd drive her to cookie binges and scrapbooking while Darren escaped into the virtual world of computer games.
Single and career-driven, Laura didn't need a man to have a baby - at least not one that she ever met. Thanks to an anonymous donor, she shares her life with her adored eight-year-old son, Ian. She'll do anything for Ian - even fill their backyard with a bunch of noisy chickens. But the one thing Ian really wants is something Laura's never been able to give him: a sibling.
Now, to grant Ian's wish, Laura starts a search that will not only change her life but Vanessa's and Wendy's as well...
Take a sneak peek at an excerpt here.
To enter to win this book, answer this question: What do YOU think came first? Usually it’s my husband! Thank you, thank you! I’ll be here til Friday!
I kill me.

It is always at my discretion to change things up, and because of some regulations, I guess I must say that the books I review are given to me by either the authors or publishers or publicists, and I am never paid for my reviews, and they are my own personal reviews, and you know what, because I'm here telling you this anyway, I will also tell you that I never review a book I don't like, because you know what, why waste my time, life is too short to read a crappy book!

I always said the chicken, just like Adam and Eve came first and then they populated the earth... Adam and Eve didn't start out as babies. So no Egg first.

ReplyDeleteI'm another that thinks God probably made a chicken first.
ReplyDeleteI think the chicken came first!
ReplyDeleteThe chicken! My reasoning: God created man and woman (not a sperm cell and egg); therefore, in my brain He created the chicken first...egg came later.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna say the egg.
