Worst book I have read in a long time:
-S-l-o-w plot
-Overly graphic medical descriptions
-I didn’t know or care eventually what the main character was trying to accomplish.
-The “love story” of the adoptive parents isn’t really a love story. Two people who work at the same place start raising twins together.
-Without giving away anything- It’s just bad. Don’t waste your money

I have not finished this book, not sure if I can. I can’t get passed that a trained nurse who is carrying twins would not know she was pregnant, and not ask or scream for help when in a critical health situation. After all this woman somehow managed to get herself to a hospital traveling quite a long distance with blood dripping down between her legs. I cannot get passed that the surgeon who secretly loves this woman and has worked with her everyday for seven years would not check up on her immediately when she was not present in the OR. Being in the health care industry, it is interesting to read the medical terminology in the book, but makes me wonder if a casual reader would understand everything. All the colorful words cannot cover up this credibility issue for me.

This is indeed an epic read, a big story in every way. But why the higher price? Because they think they can get it; wait for the price to come down, then enjoy.

this was a book club pick. Bought the book, anticipating a good read. After 75 pages, I had trouble getting into it and wondered if it was worth my time. A friend told me to stick with it. I did – and after about 200 pages, I was interested but I really wouldn’t recommend it to a friend. There are so many other books much more worth the reading.
