Fallow

 Fallow by Sarah Anderson, 336 pages

Natalie hates working, so when a nurse at the blood bank mentions an experimental job opportunity to be a corporate surrogate with large compensation, she is thrilled. The contract is "simple", Natalie must deliver 7 babies in 10 years for high level women at The Company, so they can have the benefits of motherhood without pregnancy interrupting their work. The benefits seem endless, as Natalie gets to live in a luxury condo with a chef, a housekeeper, a personal trainer and premium healthcare, all provided by the company. In addition, she receives bonus compensation for certain things, like having a natural birth. Between pregnancies, she enjoys her time off and spends the money she earns on things like luxury coats and spa trips. Natalie finally likes working. During her last pregnancy, almost at the finish line of her contract, an unexpected employee issue arises, and everything falls apart. There is really not much else I can say without spoiling it. 

This book is divided into three parts, and I was so invested in the first two parts. The third part is where things started to put me off a bit, as it takes a strange turn and it feels like a completely different book and a completely different main character. The third part was still engaging, and I would still recommend this book, just not what I expected.
