Cherry Baby

Rainbow Rowell

A contemporary women's-fiction romance about Cherry, a confident plus-size woman in Omaha whose marriage to Tom, the creator of a now-famous autobiographical webcomic, has quietly fallen apart. While sorting through their shared life and an unexpected reunion with an old college crush, Cherry is forced to confront how she sees her body, her marriage, and her own future. The story moves between present-day scenes of divorce and flashbacks to how Cherry and Tom first fell in love, building toward a messy, emotionally charged reckoning with what she really wants next.
