This book certainly got me, when I thought I had it worked out...nope. The twists were tight and shocking and just when you think you have it tied up again...wrong. This was great and I ate this up in a daymegan_bbender's review

I feel as if the author does not think the readers are smart enough to figure out the twist on their own which is why there was so much back and forth between the past and present. This is what made the book feel so slow, because you are reading over the same scenario twice.
After looking up the author, I can appreciate that this book may have a lot more deeper meaning as it possibly reflects some of her personal experiences with marriage and IVF but I personally cannot relate to these issues so there was not a strong connection for me.
