Description
Talent agent Mae Miller has problems . . .
Her mother, Elsa, who has Alzheimer's, has gambled away all of Mae's savings. Billy Mac, her most lucrative client, has been poached by uber-agent Matthias Bloom. And Mae is eight months pregnant, with a baby she doesn’t want.
Enter The Baby Exchange.
When a reality TV show seeks an expectant mother willing to have her baby adopted, Mae seizes the opportunity.
But there’s a price . . .
In the city of Los Angeles where viewing figures are king, Mae is about to be manipulated into giving away far more than she realises.
What will it cost to secure the happy future promised to her by The Baby Exchange for a baby she thought she didn't want – but who is becoming increasingly real each day?

I've finished reading this and really enjoyed it! Would definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun quick read.

This is like nothing I’ve ever read before I really enjoyed it
It’s such an unique interesting read
I read it in one sitting as it was a lovely read

I have to admit, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book at the start but about 60% in, I got invested and that ending was so worth sticking it out for 😭
It tore me to pieces and then glued all those pieces back together 😭 this is such a beautiful book and well done to the author!

The Baby exchange by Heather Perry, May grew up in the foster care system, and move to Hollywood when her best friend Billy Mac turned 18. she became his agent ,and now his star is beginning to shine brighter, and one of her child actors has just signed with Disney. The only problem may has is her mom Eloise, who has dementia and although her good friend and housekeeper, Israel takes care of her May doesn’t know how much longer she can afford it. in the middle of all, this may finds out another much bigger agent is courting Billy Mac and oh yes thanks to her inverted cervix she’s 37 1/2 weeks pregnant with a baby she didn’t know existed and doesn’t want. This is how she finds herself on a reality show for surrogates in the want to be moms. what a perfect solution on the show have the baby give the baby away get $80,000 plus the surrogacy fee… Problem solved right? Unfortunately,in LA the story isn’t complete with out a scandal and May’s story is definitely included. let me just say this was the best most heartwarming, funny sad, disappointing heartbreaking and heart. Mending story I have ever ever read. it is books like this that prove it’s all about the promotions because I only accidentally came across this book on NetGalley and this book is absolutely phenomenal and I cannot believe more people haven’t read it. I loved Kendra, May her mom Eloise I did wish Billy Mac had a more complete personality. I felt he could’ve been flushed out a little better, but having said that he served his purpose and OMG this book is awesome. Awesome awesome awesome! this is a book I definitely recommend if you love funny modern heartbreaking stories that also make you laugh out loud. You will definitely love this book by Hannah Perry. I absolutely absolutely loved it!!!#NetGalley, #HannahPerry1, #HannahPerry, #TheBaby, #TheBlindReviewer,

I just finished “The Baby Exchange” by Hannah Parry and what a cute book! It’s about an LA talent agent named Mae Miller who finds herself in an unwanted cryptic pregnancy, a mother with dementia, and a mountain of debt.
She goes on a reality show to give her baby up for adoption and earn enough fees to cover her mother’s expenses all while trying to promote her best friend’s, Billy Mac’s, acting career.
The story has a great cast of characters and who doesn’t love crazy reality tv, right? Sign me up! Haha. You find yourself really rooting for Mae! Such a sweet story! Solid 4 stars from me!

very wholesome and heartwarming. would recommend to family and friends. the author had an amazing idea to put and executed very nicely.
