Please join me in welcoming Katharine Light to Novel Kicks and the blog tour for her book, You Too.
Anna has finally got what she longed for.
After years of focusing on her career—ignoring the quiet, insistent need for a child—a chance encounter with Rob led to an arrangement that changed everything.
Now she’s pregnant.
But nothing about what comes next is simple. This was never meant to be a relationship. As her pregnancy becomes more difficult, Anna retreats, unwilling to face Rob, or the feelings she can no longer ignore.
Because wanting a baby was one thing. Letting someone in is something else entirely.
Rob always knew their arrangement had limits. He didn’t expect Anna would quickly become the one person he can’t walk away from.
Now, both must decide what they’re willing to fight for. Can they overcome the complications of their own backgrounds and truly build a family together?
Or was their connection never meant to last?
Kathatine has kindly shared an extract with us today. We hope you enjoy.

The first time they meet in this book, once Anna is pregnant and suffering with severe morning sickness.
What was Rob doing now, she wondered, for the nth time that day.
She had fielded his texts with brief replies, forcing him to shrink his enquiries accordingly. ‘Plans for the weekend?’ he’d asked. ‘Sleep!’ she’d replied.
Her biggest problem was her absolute inability to open the fridge without the inevitable retching and vomiting. She couldn’t face food. Couldn’t look at it. Couldn’t plan, shop or cook. Anything she tried turned to dry lumps on her tongue. The most she’d held down were some morsels of dry toast. Her sense of smell seemed to have magnified alarmingly, and the slightest odour sent her rushing to the loo, slicked with sweat, saliva flooding her mouth.
