I’m happy that I looked at other reviews, or else I wouldn’t have known there’s going to be a sequel; which changes my perspective on the ending. That being said, I also hate Christopher. And Hannah’s not great either. Even still, the story was captivating and I sped through this book.

I don’t even know where to begin. I’ll need days to write an actual review. Just wow. The pace, the eagerness to continue reading, the empathy for Hannah and post partum depression, the evil, the beyond incompetent husband, so much crazy.

This book is a 4.5!!!! It was so good and I’m not going to lie kinda scared me from adoption lol Janie’s character even gave me anxiety while reading it . And Hannah and Christopher were being good people. Idk I still feel very weird about Christopher tbh I’m glad there’s a book 2 because I need to know what happens . I just hope nothing happens to Hannah she finally got her baby and mental health a little better I just feel so bad for her character tbh

Good premise but the constant POV changes weren’t great — it would have been better all in third person + the interview sections. The ending was disappointing.
