Cherry Baby by Rainbow Rowell

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. . .

Everybody knows that Cherry’s husband is in Hollywood making a movie. Nobody knows that he isn’t coming home.

While Tom’s in L.A. getting rich and famous off his comic Thursday (with a character based on Cherry), Cherry’s stuck in the house they were going to raise a family in – wondering who she’s supposed to be without him.

Until one night, Cherry ventures out to see her favourite band play, and someone recognizes her from across the room.

Russ Sutton is a blast from Cherry’s past. He knows Cherry. He likes Cherry.

And best of all… he’s never heard of Thursday.

About the Author: 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.
