A gunman takes the women and doctors a a controversial abortion clinic hostage. It's a story written in reverse and for me at times repetitive and didn't really work. It was hard to get your head round to begin with. As usual the author has researched well and gives both sides of the argument pro choice and pro life. I'm more of a pro Women's rights/life but it was interesting to consider the opposing views. I've read a few of the authors books now a d this is my lowest scoring and least favourite read. Not Eve so much the subject matter, more the backwards plotting of it.

I found the backwards timeline confusing for character development and made the plot boring and anticlimactic. I kept mixing up character details because of the way the information is doled out. Additionally, I did not find the end of the book very climatic or interesting because so much information is given upfront.

The pace and timeline sequence of this book was too much for me mixed in with the heavy emotional content. Very powerful book with important subject matter.macneill___rae's review against another edition

What I love about Jodi's books is that typically, they touch very controversial subjects and make you think. This one was no different.
The storyline of this book is about a shooting that takes place at an abortion clinic. It follows many of the different background stories of those involved with the shooting/victims, etc.
So well written and captivating.
HOWEVER many triggers so not for everybody ✨️✨️✨️
