Meh, it was ok. As someone who’s gone through IVF and is about to lose their fertility at a young age I can relate to Kate
It felt like this book took me ages to read, and I’ve found it a bit of a slog to get to the end, I didn’t want to give up because I wanted to know how it ended and what I thought would happen didn’t which really was a bonus because my head went to a very different place
Worth a read if you have the time, don’t think I’d recommend it to friends as it just didn’t give me the “psychological thriller” vibe I was expecting. It’s very PG
