I’m not even sure how I feel about this yet. Crouch’s books make me stressed, angry, terrified, depressed, happy; a whole slew of emotions which is appropriate because the crux of this book is about just that.

I love his books because they hurt my brain they’re so well written and researched. This one was no different. I was constantly having to look things up and the field of genetics is so foreign, but was fascinating to read about.

My one request…Blake - can you please stop writing such loving and wholesome families for your characters and then tearing them from said families? My heart can only take so much and these people deserve happy endings.

This one will stay with me for a long time.
