The Warning by Paul Pen
4.0
4 Stars!
Paul Pen never ceases to surprise me. The Light of the Fireflies was my first experience, so I had an idea of what I was getting myself in to.
I have to say, the apology at the beginning of the book was a bit off-putting.
The story-line is fantastic. I was engrossed trying to figure out what was happening and where the connection was. I felt sick for Leo having been stuck with such terrible parents. I was slightly confused on Leo's paternity, though. There were references to Aaron not being ready for children, so I first assumed that Andrea was pregnant, but as the story unfolded, you could tell she wasn't. Leo kept displaying mannerisms that Aaron had the squinting, squeezing the leg of his pants, curling his toes, I'm still confused if the intern had gotten pregnant or if Leo was switched with another baby. Victoria makes mention of giving birth to him, so I was missing the relevance.
I would love to read a reboot of this story, as Paul mentions in the apology foreword that he would have written many scenes differently....or, it would be really cool to see this as a Netflix movie.
A special thank you to NetGalley, Amazon Crossing, and Paul Pen for providing me with an ARC.
