This is a suspenseful psychological family drama. I don’t think it quite hit the mark for me as a thriller, but it is still a good read. I love a good family drama, and boy did this one deliver in that arena. I love books about reality television because they really highlight how fake it all is, and that was certainly the case here. I felt so bad for Dawn because she was clearly struggling and then she had no one she could turn too in her time of need. It pulled at my heart strings. Her husband, Wyatt, is just horrible. Which, honestly, I am naturally inclined to dislike people with that name based on my own prejudices and that is exactly what happened here. However, he truly is a horrible character, and that is apparent fairly early in the book. The suspense in this book was so well done! I loved it and I sometimes struggle. Even though this wasn’t a true thriller in my opinion, it still had a fast pace. I ended up reading this book in one sitting over the course of a few hours because I just didn’t want to put it down. However, in the end, I wish that the ending would have been slightly more satisfying.

Be mindful of triggers in this book as it does heavily focus on infertility and the struggles that can be associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
