This is a very controversial story. We all have our own opinions and thoughts about abortions but this story gave us an insight on many different views. I liked that I could not tell what the author thought on this subject that each character was true to their thoughts. The one thing that was hard for me was that the book starts off with the ending and it works it way backward to the beginning of the day. I felt it took away from the story.

Lazy, bland and contrived. The characters are there only to illustrate points and give informative speeches.

The flow of this book was off for me. It felt a little like the “12 days of Christmas” song to me where each chapter you have to revisit what you just read in order to put all the pieces together. It left me with an unsatisfied feeling.

I’m such a fan of the way Jodi writes. I love her chapters at the end of each of her books and how much research she puts into each book. Highly recommend this book!
