Just brilliant

This book is amazing. It made me laugh, cry, think, cry some more, question and immerse myself in another world. Clare Macintosh is a hugely talented author who keeps you totally engrossed in the lives of her characters. A day after finishing this book I'm still thinking about it. I wish I could give this book more than five stars.

Emotional and real

Clare Mackintosh brings an authentic account to this beautiful prose of “what if’s”. I’m a paediatric Emergency Physician based in Melbourne and Clare’s book brings much realism to this work. The medical account is so real to me and brings home the actuality of our patients and families. I finished the book and found it weighing upon me- questioning my practice and how we work with families to reach decisions with families. Clare’s authors note explains why this is such a personal journey.
This is an emotional story, despite the difficult subject matter, as a parent of small children myself, it is one that challenges the notions of the “what if’s” and one of hope for the future and the path we are meant to find in this life. A brilliant read/listen and I can’t wait for Clare Mackintosh’s next offering.x

Amazing book full of heartbreak and hope

This book is so special. It is so accurate of a life in an a paediatric ICU. This story is heartbreaking but it gives us hope. We can learn to live again as Claire Mackintosh said.
Thank you Claire for writing this book, it is so special.

Interesting narrative

This is a thought provoking book. It makes you think about what pressures people judgements and free opinions place on people dealing with the worst of circumstances.

amazing

what an amazing story and just sooo hard to understand what people go through and the choices they make. Everyone should read it and try to understand and think what you would do.

Slow and dreary

This is one of the most boring stories I have read. The story is slow and predictable and the characters are dull. I struggled to finish it, I was thinking it must be almost over and then when I looked it still had 4 hours to go. I thought it might get better or the story might get more interesting but it didn't. I didn't like the alternative ending scenarios either.
