I could not stop reading this book, Juliette is desperate for a child but has to go through IVF. She becomes extremely unbalanced during the process but has that always been lurking in the background or is it do with the desperation to be a mother or the hormones she has been putting in her body? Whatever the reason it has made her do some truly awful things, A really good read that feels so true to life.

I wish I had not even bothered to read this book in fact I didn't even finish it it was that bad.

At the beginning I thought this was going to be a really good book and although it was heartbreaking it was very annoying in other places.

Michael and Harriet are married but have problems becoming pregnant they decide to to have IVF.

But at the moment they are not happy together and you really think that maybe they should sort their relationship out first.

Harriet does not have a good relationship with her mum or best friend so she's on her own.

I am sorry but this book was a waste of my time reading it.

Really struggled with this book, right from the prologue. Read to a third of the way in and struggling to continue. It is in the not for me category.

I was expected the usual psychological thriller type suspense.

- I was not expecting the prologue that, is about male mastubration to be in psychological thriller section and skipped a few pages.

- The first chapter we learn of the characters and quickly whilst the baby is taken you know who has taken him.

- I also struggled with the in-depth history of the characters in the first few chapters. Makes for difficult and long reading.

Not quite what I was expecting from the book brief.

I’m more of a fast paced thriller and this is the opposite. If you like a slow burner then this is worth considering. But my attention was lost for the above reasons a third of the way in.

Thank you for the arc and apology the review is no 100% positive but I have given my honest review.
