From the back cover

For five years, Luna has been married to Jake Green without conceiving. Then she discovers she is two months pregnant and plans to surprise him on their anniversary. Before she can, Winnie York, the widow of Jake's friend Henry, posts a pregnancy report naming Jake as the husband, and Jake defends his choice to help her, insisting he only donated sperm so the lonely widow could have a child.

Jake's attention drifts further from Luna: he cooks for Winnie, spends his nights at her loft, and calls it the only place he feels a family's warmth. When Luna goes to the hospital for an abortion, she sees Jake guiding Winnie through an ultrasound. Winnie accuses her of pushing her, and Jake believes it, refusing to hear Luna's own news.

Left alone, Luna resolves that a child whose own father does not long for him should not come into this world.

Inside the book Opening excerpt

My husband’s friend’s widow uploaded a picture of her pregnancy report.

I responded with a question mark when I saw Jake Green, my husband’s name, in the husband column.

Jake immediately called me to yell at me.

“She’s a widow and is living alone. All she wants is to have a baby to keep her company and give her life a little more cheer. How could you not show her even this bit of pity?

“You know that Henry is my friend. It’s only right for me to take care of his wife after he died!
