This book was nothing short of amazing‼️ When I say it will have your thoughts and emotions all over the place literally. The author explored such a powerful topic that will leave many readers feeling uneasy about whose side they should be on. Not gone lie I was a bit bias the entire time and always sided with Katherine. I just felt like she had more to lose in the situation and I’d probably react the same as she did. 

But it was such a realistic drama packed with twists, secrets, suspense, and intrigue that will have you immersed in the story from beginning to end. We get multiple plots woven into this single narrative while never straying away from the overall plot of the novel. Every character felt like a real person from their personal actions, distinct motives, and their personalities. Everything felt so authentic and believable. 

Patrick’s mother did entirely too much especially with her racial remarks. His ass didn’t do enough to step in and stand up for his wife. I get why Katherine had mixed feelings about sharing custody with Tess. Once all the secrets started pouring out it made me take a deeper look at the circumstances at hand. How would you feel knowing the child you gave birth to wasn’t biologically yours and the man you married had sex with the woman who is the biological mother? That alone drove a deeper wedge in any relationship or agreement that could’ve been made between Katherine, Patrick, and Tess. 

Overall, the book was perfect and a beautifully-written reflection on an inevitable situation. There are quite a few trigger warnings involving rape, stillbirth, abortion, fertility issues, race, and betrayal. This is a book I highly recommend everyone to read‼️It’s full of surprising twists and emotional challenges that truly make it unforgettable.
