Excellent suspense thriller!

I loved this book. It's definitely a stay-up-late, can't-turn-off audiobook! Great plot, unique, with interesting characters and excellent narration. Highly recommended!

Completely Ridiculous

Don't waste your time or money on this book. It keeps you going until the end and then boom! The worst story line I have ever heard. I can't believe it was published!

Great Listen

This book was very interesting all the way through. I loved how the author really let us know what Fetal Alcohol Syndrome does to a person as far as childhood development goes and adult behaviors. Kept me interested all the way through. Loved Erin's character flaws and all. Definitely recommend this book!

How did this book get such good review!

I don't usually review books but after finishing this one I must. Some comments might be considered spoilers--though this book can't be spoiled. First the basic premise of the book is just stupid. A 14 yo girl makes poor choices and years later her loving husband, when he finds out, can't even stand the sight of her. Come on. I could maybe believe it if he found out she was a murderer. Her son is so distraught by the news that he changes his life goals and plans. All so unbelievable. The daughter that was given away is supposed to be affected by fetal alcohol syndrome but she seems to have amazing capacities and insights into her own problems. Twists and turns in the past and present day are not bad but can't make up for the poor basic premise of the book. Also, the basic plot is so sexist. Erin makes the mistake. Erin is fully to blame. Husband blames the women (really the girl). Only Erin and the adopted daughter finally want to confront and punish the sperm donor and do it in so outlandish/unbelievable way. Would not recommend. Thought about getting my money back but as I did listen to the whole book I didn't feel right about it.

WOW! JUST WOW

This book was amazing from beginning to end. I wasn't expecting that ending at all! Worth every penny or credit.

Completely predictable!

I’m so tired of reading about stupid women! The main character is tedious and annoying. Someone please write a story in which the plot line is not dependent upon a weak and idiotic woman. This character is not relatable, nor did I root for her. Her character development is inconsistent and chaotic making her totally unbelievable. And don’t even get me started on the Tom character or the ill-conceived, “happily ever after” ending.

And then THIS happened?

Pretty good half way, then the characters' behaviors became so unbelievably stupid it stopped being enjoyable..

Very Unlikable Characters

No Spoilers!!! I had a hard time liking or caring about anyone in this book. I think it was a decent mystery, but the outcomes were totally unrealistic. This book is not a thriller, it's more of a family drama. It held my attention but barely.

Good story, characters you love to hate

Well written. Good plot. Lots of twists but some unanswered questions in the end. The characters are people you just have to hate.
