Hold My Girl by Charlene Carr

4.0

Katherine and Tess both went through the pain of IVF. After endless miscarriages Tess got pregnant but went into spontaneous labor at 21 weeks, losing both the baby and her uterus. Katherine, after countless miscarriages, carried Rose to term. Shortly before Rose turned one, the women found out that their eggs had been switched. Rose is genetically Tess’s child.

The rest of the book is the unfolding drama of a court case and the emotional toll on both of the women in deciding whose child Rose really is.

It got slow in the middle and a little repetitive, but overall there was enough drama to keep me reading. For sure a thought-provoking read on custody and IVF.
