The first half of the book I found a bit too slow to my liking, although I did enjoy the contrast of the two families, the Richardson’s and Mia and Pearl Warren. 

The main conflict; the case of Mirabelle/ May-Ling appeared close to the halfway point of the story. It introduced one of the main themes of the story: motherhood. 

The theme was very well written and thorough. Nothing about it felt black and white.  Admittedly, I didn’t care for a lot of the characters views on things,(the adoption, the surrogacy)but I understood them.

I really enjoyed the way the town and its characters were written, especially Mia. So many secrets and lies. I typically don’t have the patience for stories with drama around miscommunication and misunderstandings, but this story held my attention and I read it nearly in one sitting. I’d definitely recommend it, although be prepared to feel some strong anger towards some of the characters.

So much happened… There was a ton of story lines and backgrounds. It was interesting to see each character’s perspective built off their upbringing.
