I hate everyone. Hate, hate, HATE. Every character was off— none of these people are real people, the actions aren’t reasonable. There’s one plot line that is out of nowhere but everything else was predictable. The ending was just weird. Like… what therapist signs off on that resolution? Idiotic. AND I FUCKING KNEW IT, FUCK DAVID AND ROBIN!!!!!! I hated them. Vindication!!!! 🗣️

One day, I’ll stop reading Dr. Berry’s shitty books. Mark my words!

secondhandbookshelves's review against another edition

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.
