My Review:
MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD
This book was all over the place and I am not sure what the author was going for.
-Dana and Logan lost their daughter in a horrific accident while Dana is expecting their second child
-Dana finds out that she is adopted, meets her dying biological mother and then we never hear from or about her ever again
-Logan starts an affair with Dana's best friend Pippa
-Dana meets Melanie at a grief support group and Melanie basically starts stalking her
-Dana meets Matt at the support group and basically starts an emotional affair with him
-Dana's sister tries to commit suicide for her part in the death of her niece, so her husband kicks her out of the house and she moves back in with her parents
The story basically goes around in circles, everyone fucking everyone and essentially being shitty human beings. The book ended up going nowhere and part of the plot was left just hanging. (What happened to/with the birth mother!? Why was that even there!?)
This book could have been great if the author just focused on the loss of a child while expecting another. I would have liked to know how each character felt and dealt with it.
I hated everyone in this book and found them lacking any moral compass or integrity and the story, even with the many plot points, went nowhere and the conclusion was very unsatisfactory.
