Nora Hammond is the queen of vintage fashion and antique finds in the heart of Manhattan. She’s got style, success, and a happy marriage, or so it seems. But really, Nora and her husband Jacob are swimming in a sea of debt thanks to pricey fertility treatments and failed IVF attempts. It’s hard for them because there’s just one embryo left.

One day Evelyn Elliot comes into Nora’s shop loving and buying everything. Nora is excited about their newfound friendship but she has not idea that this friendship willlead her into the world of multimillionaires, where yachts, fancy homes, chauffeured cars, and an army of staff are the norm. It’s a juggling act, but Nora’s managing just fine—until Evelyn drops a bombshell: she wants to carry Nora and Jacob’s baby.

“The Favor” is a fabulous mash-up of friendship, family, fertility struggles, and surrogacy, all set against a backdrop of glitz and glamour. Plus, it’s fun to read about all the vintage clothes. I loved this book so much! 2 thumbs up.
