Wow! That seems an insignificant word for this book. Read on to see my thoughts and feelings. I agree that if you're a Jodi Picoult fan you'll enjoy this one too, it can be purchased here on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Waterstones.
Synopsis
I grip my husband’s hand tight. The doctor is frowning. “Mr and Mrs Marcello… I’m so sorry.” She tells us there’s been a terrible mistake. Our last embryo—our last chance—was accidentally given to someone else. The child we made four years ago calls another woman “Mommy.” Quinn cries silent tears as she folds a tiny knitted cardigan, bought in a moment of hope, and packs it away. All she’s ever wanted is to be a mother. Although her husband James brings her comfort, the knowledge they have no embryos left, and that their child is out there being raised by another family, is tearing them both apart. When the lawyers tell them there’s a chance to get custody, James is unsure. But Quinn knows she has to take it: if only to look her little girl in the eyes, just once. Meeting Emily and the woman who raised her, Quinn’s heart cracks wide open. Emily looks just like Quinn, right down to her curly hair. And when the little girl flings her arms around Quinn’s waist, she can’t shake the feeling this is where Emily is meant to be. As the two families reckon with an unimaginable decision, a secret from James’ past surfaces… one that forces Quinn to question everything she thought she wanted. But how will they decide what’s right for the little girl they all love so dearly? And where does Emily truly belong? An absolutely unputdownable, heart-wrenching read about two families torn apart by one terrible mistake. Anyone who loves Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper, Diane Chamberlain and Catherine Ryan Hyde won’t be able to put this down.
My review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
When Quinn and James discover that their very last viable embryo was mislabelled and implanted into someone else and they have a biological daughter their world is turned upside down! They decide to fight for custody. Nora is fighting to keep the child she carried and birthed and has mothered the last 4 years.
My heart is bursting and breaking all at the same time. I did not want to pick a side, I saw each woman's perspective and ached for both of them. Then a devastating discovery changes everything! The ending could not have been more perfect and I loved it, I cried happy tears! I loved most of the characters and disliked one for reasons that will be obvious when you read this book. This was heart wrenching, gripping with some tense suspension and I couldn't put it down. It was the first book I have read by this author and it definitely won't be the last. It's been on my mind since I finished it on Thursday.
Thank you @netgalley And @bookouture for the arc copy in exchange for my honest thoughts.
