-"Charming . . . cleverly told and uncommonly appealing."--People
-"[A] funny and poignant . . . novel about love, motherhood and men . . . elevates the subject matter beyond the realm of ’mommy lit.’"--Houston Chronicle
When thirty year old Sarah Harper has a "Jerry McGuire" moment and sends a company-wide email that gets her fired from her high-powered New York City advertising job, her life is turned upside down. Home for a reprieve in Houston, she realizes that the meaning in her life she’s been searching for is right in front of her: Mackie, her older sister, has been trying to conceive with her husband Clive for years, and has finally given up. It suddenly makes perfect sense to Sarah to be a surrogate to the person closest to her in the world--for the first time to take care of Mackie instead of the other way around.
Sarah’s pregnancy goes smoothly (even when they find out she’s carrying twins!), but everything else becomes complicated: Her life becomes uncomfortably intertwined with an ex-boyfriend she dumped in high school; she develops an awkward crush on her brother-in-law; her widowed father falls in love with a spitfire named Dixie. When she tumbles into a job as a publicist for a preservation society, and finds herself passionately committed to saving a beloved historic building in town, Sarah is surprised to realize how much potential her future could have. Yet elements of her old life in New York beckon, and, even as Mackie’s babies take over her body, distance grows between Sarah and and her sister. By the time Sarah’s year of figuring things out is up, Sarah must grapple with deciding once and for all which risks are worth taking ... and what will really make her happy. 对《每个人都很美》的评价：
