the book was full of good useful information about abortions and explained through the lives of women who need or want one.

what i didn’t love is that the stories are told backward throughout the day. it was a good spin but i think the book might’ve been better if it were told differently.
the other part i didn’t love is how many characters there were. it was hard to keep everyone straight with what story was being told about them and how they all ended up in the women’s health clinic that day.

even though the story was told backward making it difficult to keep characters straight, it did unveil really nicely. you don’t get the shock that you might’ve at the end but seeing where it all started and came together for each character was also a good ending as well.
