Won an ARC through Goodreads Giveaways!
I flew through the last half of this book. The writing was wonderful, the images vivid. I don’t believe I’ve read a book with a similar storyline. It was a bit of everything: uncomfortable, hopeful, sad, thrilling. Great read, thank you!

I really liked this book up until the end.

Especially given that Ben and Megan’s relationship was a big part of this book and then in the end it was just “like oh he might be cheating on me but it doesn’t bother me now”. It’s not a satisfactory if they would have just divorced or worked it out.

This book had an interesting premise but it failed to deliver. Maybe it's just me but I have read to many books recently about post partum depression and I feel burnt out from it. I liked the fantastical parts of this book but it didn't capture my attention.
