Enjoyed!

This book had me anxious to see what was going to happen next. I get Olivia feeling the way she felt, but sis was a little off. That was a crazy situation for both ladies to be in. I kept thinking I knew how it would turn out but I was wrong.
I would recommend this book if you’re looking for a mysterious, suspenseful read.

Wow! The storyline was dramatic with a strange twist at the end of the story. I'm not sure how I feel about the story's outcome 3.5 stars, I guess.

Wow

This story was deep! What makes a mother??? While DNA is important, nurturing and loving a child unconditionally trumps DNA if you're an unstable, non caring being. Everyone mother that has a baby doesn't necessarily mean they're A mother! While I sympathized with Olivia initially only due to the betrayal, I knew that Kinsley was truly Levi mother in every sense of the word! Olivia was unstable before Levi getting her results sent her over the edge!
I liked the ending,DNA is a tricky science !

This was an interesting read with a strong emotional hook, especially around the question of what truly defines motherhood, biology, love, or sacrifice. The premise started off strong and definitely kept me curious, but some parts fizzled out for me.

That said, some parts felt uneven at times. Some moments felt rushed, while other parts could’ve used tighter execution.

The book is worth is checking out if you enjoy domestic thrillers with emotional themes, but some parts are predictable.

Olivia Olivia girl was a little off. I can understand the feelings but to allow them to lead you is crazy. But at the same time who’s to say how any would or should react in that situation. The love of a mother whew!!!
