HTML:"It is hard to imagine a better novel for a book club discussion...A thoughtful and gripping family tale that will haunt readers long after finishing it." ??Kirkus Reviews, STARRED As a young mother with a toddler and a live-in boyfriend, Maggie Fisher's job at a checkout counter in downtown Phoenix doesn't afford her much financial flexibility. She dreams of going to college and becoming a teacher, options she squandered when she fled her family home as a teenager. When Maggie stumbles onto an ad offering thousands of dollars to women who are willing to gestate other people's babies, she at first finds the concept laughable. Before long, however, she's been seduced by all the ways the extra money could improve her life. Once she decides to go for it, it's only a matter of months before she's chosen as a gestational carrier by Chip and Donovan Rigsdale, a married couple from New York. After delivering twin babies and proudly handing them off to the Rigsdales, Maggie finally gets her life on a positive trajectory: she earns her degree, lands a great job, and builds a family of her own. She can't fathom why, ten years after the fact, the fertility clinic is calling to ask for a follow-up DNA test. High-energy and immensely readable, He Gets That from Me explores what it really means to be part of a family.|2022 USA Today Best Seller A 2021 Kirkus Reviews' Best Indie Book of the Year 2021 Reader's Favorite: Gold Medal, Fiction SheReads 2021 Book Awards: Best Book Club Pick "It is hard to imagine a better novel for a book club discussion...A thoughtful and gripping family tale that will haunt readers long after finishing it."

It has been ten years since she gave birth to twins! She has gotten her degree and has built a family of her own. She has everything that she wanted! So why is the fertility clinic asking her for a follow up DNA test?
What really makes a family?
This was a very engaging and thought provoking read! Told from Maggie and Donovans point of view from the present and the past you get a unique view to both sides of the story but also it makes it easier to connect with the characters! It is definitely an emotional read about family unconditional love but also the sacrifices that we make for our loved ones! You really can't help but feel for the characters and become involved with them! But as a mother the twins are the ones that hit me the hardest! This will be one of those books that will have you thinking long after you've finished! Happy reading everyone!
