This book was awful, and felt pointless. The only reason I finished it was for my book club.

I think the only redeeming quality of this book were the statements at the very end about

rape victims and their decision to terminate a pregnancy or give the baby up for adoption.

I love Lucinda Berry and this is my 9th book from her. However, you can definitely tell this was her first book (written in college if I recall). I'm happy to see how much she has grown as a writer as demonstrated in her other books but this one was not it for me.

It’s not my favorite Lucinda berry book but it was definitely one I couldn’t put down! At times I hated the main character but by the end i really empathized with her!

I got 14% of the way in.
I hate everyone, I cannot sympathize with any of them. Usually I'd just power through or skim til it got interesting BUT the 4 year old daughter ends up in the hospital

with her kidneys failing and she's on all sorts of machines and won't wake up, they need to start dialysis or she'll die.

I don't do books where kids are gravely hurt or die, and i can no longer do medical trauma books.
Also in the 50 pages I read there are SO many content warnings to be added.
This one is not for me.
Not continuing and possibly not picking up any others from this author either.
