For fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid's Daisy Jones and the Six, a contemporary women's novel that delves into the intricate, unspoken love between a woman and the tortured father of her child as they navigate what could have been and the uncertainty of what lies ahead.
Rachel Singer is a responsible high school senior—one of the last people you'd expect to get pregnant. But when she does at nineteen, she makes the bold choice to keep the baby. With determination and creativity, she launches a business of her own that gives her the means to support herself and her daughter, Lila.
Rachel is reluctant to tell Lila's biological father about their daughter's existence. Cameron Fielding is a gifted but troubled twenty-five-year-old musician, haunted by the tragic death of his younger sister, consumed by addiction, and in no shape to be a parent. As he spirals through grief, anger, and self-destruction and struggles to find redemption, it's hard to believe he will ever become the man Rachel and Lila deserve.
Spanning the years from Lila's birth to her freshman year of college, I'll Take Maybe traces the lives of Rachel and Cameron—their loves, losses, growth, and failures—and the complicated connection between them that never clarifies or fully fades. Heartfelt and honest, this is a story about second chances, enduring love, and the strength of friendship and family in the face of life's unexpected challenges.
