The Adoption by Jenna Kernan
3.0
The Adoption is an upcoming thriller by Jenna Kernan about a traumatized women who struggles to grasp her new reality once she returns home from a psych facility. A near-fatal crash leaves her with feelings of depression, anxiety and despair, as well as unable to have her own children. Until her husband surprises her days after returning home with a newly adopted baby.
This book was slow at the beginning, but halfway through became fast-paced with a seemingly new twist every chapter. Although I overall enjoyed this quick read, it was a bit predictable and repetitive. It was easy to sympathize with Dani’s character but I also found myself irritated with how gullible she was. This book employed the unreliable narrator very well, utilizing a traumatic brain injury in a unique and interesting way. The ending, albeit mostly satisfying, was a bit too complicated for me and would have been better with a few less twists.
Thank you NetGalley and Bookouture for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
