Finding Stacy
Lucy Bertias is barely surviving.
She works doubles at a Queens fast-food joint, lives paycheck to paycheck in a studio apartment that's falling apart, and has exactly $127 in her bank account. But she's made it work for four years - ever since the night she found an abandoned baby on the sidewalk outside her building.
The infant had blonde hair, green eyes, and no one looking for her. So Lucy took her home. Fought through the system. Adopted her. Became her mother in every way that mattered.
Now that baby is four years old. And Lucy would do anything to keep her safe.
But when a severe illness lands them in the emergency room, Lucy meets someone who changes Dr. Matt Anders, the hospital's director of pediatrics. Wealthy. Powerful. Devastatingly handsome.

Abandoned then Found👍
I loved this book. It’s a heartfelt story about love, family, and self worth, with the relationships between Lucy, Stacy, and Matt at its heart. The touch of CEO politics adds just enough tension, while Lucy’s self-doubt about fitting into Matt’s world makes her easy to relate to. I also appreciated that the romance was written with emotion and subtlety rather than explicit detail, letting the connection between the characters speak for itself. A warm, emotional read that I highly recommend.

2 more to read and I’ll be happy. Lucy and Stacy is one of the best stories ever. Lucy had her troubles, but they did not stop her. The book cover is great. I just love a happy ending and this was one. Please read!!!

Love it
I started reading and could not stop, I love this story. Lucy struggled something deep inside me, her fight for Stacy and facing Math showed her strength.

DNF. There was so much repetition in the first three chapters. Of the process. I think it would have been better to move the story along. I’m not here to read 100 pages of a 250 book about the adoption process. That gives less time for the actual story. Also, the process wasn’t making sense. Just building in obstacles for no reason. You wouldn’t start working with an adoption lawyer before you’ve even had your first temp. custody visit. And another thing, she would’ve started getting checks from the state so her money situation would be less. Still there but less.

Over the top
I don't know how she got approval to adopt the child but I'll accept it. But the phrases, you done have to and that word again must be stricken from Ms. I vocabulary. It was annoying every time he said please. And why was it so difficult to move to accept assistance, why? The back and forth with the start of the relationship also didn't make sense.

Not complete
I felt as if the story was not finished. I wanted to know more about the nanny and how was the DNA test wrong the first time.

I absolutely love this book. It speaks about the resilience of a young black woman without any particular emphasis on her race or the race of any of the other main characters.
I love how Lucy’s heart was opened to the package left on her doorstep, and her absolute willingness to fight for this little baby, whom she eventually named Stacy.
I loved how the author introduced Matt. She tugged at the absolute heartstrings of loss and the exhilaration of new beginnings.

Can you say Repeat
Great story idea, awesome concept but the constant repetition slows the story down. I can't say that I know what trying to fill a book is like, I've never written one but I do know what filling empty space reads like. This book could have been one of my favorites if it wasn't stuck on repeat. Don't take my word for it, read it for yourself.

This is another A.I. book! You can tell from the repetition. It just keeps repeating the same drivel over and over again.
