I had high hopes for this book after enjoying The Catch last year and it certainly started as a compelling read! What would you do if someone asked you to hold their baby while they took a call, but then saw them getting off the train?
I just found some of the behaviour unbelievable and some of Ellen's decisions made just didn't feel realistic. However it was still absolutely a page turner!
My favourite quote:
"Life is not fair, life is never fair. But self pity is the purest poison if you let it take hold."
Moderate: Miscarriage
