This book was a huge surprise. I’ve never experienced such a
change of heart in the course of reading any other novel. I was all set to give
the novel three stars when the ending came along and completely blindsided me.
It changed the entire book for me and I loved how the author tied everything
together.
The subject matter definitely made me squeamish. Pregnant
women having their bellies cut into aren’t something I normally want to read
about. However, I thought it was interesting how the author focused on
different women and their struggles with fertility. I thought the author did a
good job of depicting an infertile woman on the outside looking in.
The story is told from three female points of view:
Lorraine, Zoe and Claudia. I liked reading about each character and their
struggles they faced. A few of the sub-plots were a little boring, but I
understood their purpose a little more as the story unfolded.
I don’t want to post spoilers, so I’ll only say the ending
will leave you breathless. I’m never usually surprised, but there were
incredible twists to the story. I loved how I never saw it coming, but now when
I look back at the novel, it makes perfect sense. The author didn’t leave plot
holes for the sake of a shocking twist.
I would highly recommend this novel to suspense lovers. The
crimes are horrifying and I was on the edge of my seat over if the right person
would be brought to justice.
Rating: 5/5 Stars
