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.

Decided to read this after loving the show and really enjoyed it. I’d be interested to see what my feelings would’ve been reading this without watching the show first as I constantly contrasted the differences between the two and I THINK the show was a BIT better and gave the characters more dimension.

I came to this book after reading Everything I Never Told You about a year and a half prior and still not being able to stop thinking about how perfect it was. Unfortunately, this book did not live up to that one for me.

I didn't really care about any of the characters in this book, and they all were extremely frustrating. It's unfair, but it is really hard for me not to compare this book to EINTY because I found that to be a pretty perfect book. If they weren't by the same author, or if I had read this one first, I wonder if I would feel differently? Either way, this book for me, was only ok.

This was a hard read. So much to unpack. A deeply moving book about ethical and moral dilemas.
