Synopsis:
Liv is desperate. She will do anything to survive this ticking time bomb.
Desperate times call for desperate measures and maybe that’s what it’s going to have to take.
This powerful, dark and shocking story is about a Mother’s unshakeable and powerful love for her child and the lengths she is prepared to go to when she’s forced into an unimaginable corner.
Weaving family secrets into a tale that will get right under your skin, this was full of very shocking plot twists and I enjoyed the conflicting feelings I had for the protagonist Liv. One minute I felt the deepest sympathy for her plight and the next appalled and outraged by her decision making.
Such a clever and original idea for a story, I was on the edge of my seat reading this book and it kept me up late as it came to its clever conclusion.
If you enjoy a story that’s full of interesting and engaging characters and surprising twists and turns, then this is the book for you.

The synopsis of this title has been intrigued from the very beginning, asking that question which would test the morals of everyone.
The power of just how far Liv would go to save herself to ensure she is able to see her son grow up is evident throughout. Her character defines herself by her motherhood status, something that she has desired for her whole life and is therefore not willing to give up easily.
Whilst some elements may appear a little unrealistic, these were however necessary to convey just how desperate Liv becomes, the way her mind starts to think and plan, becoming more illogical each day as the pressure to survive increases.
The concluding twist was one that I didn’t see coming and was very cleverly executed, the reader being kept in a state of suspense throughout so that this unforeseen event definitely comes out of the blue. A book that definitely gets you thinking and questioning what you would do in the given situation, a good choice for instigating interesting Book Club discussions I’m certain!

Matilda Wilding’s The Waiting List is a haunting meditation on motherhood, mortality, and the unbearable calculus of survival. With quiet intensity, Wilding invites us into the fragile world of Liv—a woman on the cusp of new life, yet tethered to the edge of death by a failing heart.
The novel’s premise is devastatingly simple: Liv needs a transplant, and time is running out. But what begins as a story of medical urgency deepens into something far more unsettling—a psychological reckoning with the ethics of desire, the weight of maternal love, and the unthinkable choices we make when faced with extinction. The titular list becomes more than names—it’s a ledger of hope and guilt, a mirror reflecting Liv’s desperation and the dark corners of human instinct.
Wilding’s prose is elegant and restrained, allowing emotion to rise naturally from the silences between words. The tension is not driven by plot twists, but by moral ambiguity and the slow erosion of certainty. Liv is rendered with aching clarity—her longing to protect her son, her fear of absence, and the quiet horror of imagining a life bought at someone else’s expense.
This is a novel that lingers. It asks not just whose life matters most, but how we live with the answer. A powerful, thought-provoking debut that balances literary grace with emotional gravity.

The waiting list is an emotional read that delves into wanting to live to be with your family but the struggle and despair of being on a waiting list for a transplant that could come too late.
Liv has always wanted a baby and after countless times trying, the pregnancy test is positive but what should be the happiest moments of her life is something else, she is diagnosed with a heart condition. She knows going ahead with her pregnancy is dangerous but the thought of her son, Max is stronger. After she has given birth, her heart condition has got much worse and is now going to need a heart transplant but there is more people in front of her on that list that are more urgent. Determined to live, she will have to go to extreme lengths to live even if she knows it's wrong what she may have to do.
This is the first time i have read a book like this and i was really intrigued and had to keep reading. The characters were all well written though some i really didn't like and would of rather not read further about them. Also we go back a few times into the past and learn about events and past relationships that for one person i didn't see coming and really truly felt for Liv for what had happened to her. Though sad at times, i enjoyed following alongside Liv and enjoyed every moment of reading this book and would recommend.

This book is nothing like anything else I’ve ever read. The story is essentially based around a young mother who will die without a heart transplant; a heart wrenching dilemma as no mother could bear the thought of not being there for her child, and there have been other books like that, but this amazing story is is so much more.
The plot has so many facets and I just didn’t expect there to be such complexity - I loved it. The story has clearly been meticulously planned and the end result is a story that broke my heart, took my breath away and had some twists as shocking and unexpected as the very best thrillers.
Olivia needs a heart transplant, urgently. She is so desperately in love with her baby son, Max, and she is broken at the thought of leaving him if a donor cannot be found. Her job in a doctors surgery give her access to patient records, blood types and therefore potential donor; the problem? They are all still alive!
The impact of Olivia’s actions to try to ensure she lives for her son are more far reaching than I could ever have imagined! The knock on effect of her split second decisions, the guilt that she feels, the secrets she holds and the actions of those that love her, all add up and so many lives are changed as a result.
So much to unpack - this book will stay with me for a long time.

Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
This was a brilliantly gripping thriller that I genuinely couldn’t put down. It revolves around Olivia, a new mother who finally gets the baby that she’s always dreamed of. Unfortunately, pregnancy reveals that she’s living with a heart condition, and urgently needs a transplant. Olivia is gripped with the idea that maybe she could sacrifice somebody else and get their heart, and live the life she wants with her son. As she weighs up the possibilities, she is forced to confront the idea that some people’s lives might be worth more than others, and the guilt she would have to live with if she goes through with her plan.
It’s full of twists and turns and is a real rollercoaster of a book. Through Olivia’s POV you find yourself asking the same questions and wondering which of the characters you would sacrifice to save her. Is someone worth more because they are a parent? Are you expendable if you live alone? Should an older person give up their life for someone younger? The moral questions that the heart of the story made for really interesting reading, especially as you learned that Olivia herself is no angel, and have to decide whether the decision she is making make her less worthy of being saved. I really couldn’t tell how the book was going to end and I would highly recommend this to any thriller reader!

This is a fast paced, rather dark, gripping thriller, it is filled with twists and turns right to the end.

Waiting for a transplant is stressful and Liv worries she will run out of time,
Their son Max has arrived, Liv’s condition has deteriorated, she is willing to do anything to be at the top of the transplant list, she has stolen confidential information from the GP surgery where she works and where Justin is a partner, How far will she go to be able to survive for her son. She is considering a heinous crime, could she go through with murder? She is becoming desperate!
Some moral questions which would be good for a book club discussion.
I had no idea how this book would end, the story keeps you guessing,, I highly recommend this book if you enjoy a thriller with many twists.

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
I took this book with me on our half-term trip to Center Parcs and ended up reading it in just 24 hours- I genuinely couldn’t put it down.
I went into the novel fairly blind, expecting a straightforward thriller. While it certainly contains gripping thriller elements, I was surprised by just how deeply emotive and thought-provoking it turned out to be. From the very beginning, I connected with Liv. Her IVF journey felt painfully authentic, and when compounded by her devastating heart condition, her story became heartbreaking. As the plot unfolded, her circumstances seemed to spiral further and further, making it impossible not to feel completely invested in her fate.
Beyond the emotional intensity, the novel raises a compelling moral dilemma: can one person’s life ever be considered more valuable than another’s?
I had no idea how everything would resolve, and the unpredictability kept me hooked until the very last page. The twists, especially in the latter part of the book, were brilliantly executed, and I loved the ending too!
Overall, this is a highly original, deeply emotional, and thought-provoking psychological thriller. I’m already looking forward to reading more from this author and I will be recommending it to friends and family!

Although it started quite gently this became quite a dark and unsettling read. Olivia ‘Liv’ and Justin have been trying for a child and have exhausted the IVF route when Liv finds out she is pregnant. However shortly afterwards she is diagnosed with a serious heart condition and after her son is born she is told that she will need a transplant.
Briefly, Liv is absolutely devastated but as time passes she starts to wonder if there is a quicker way to get to the top of the waiting list for a transplant. Her desperation gradually becomes an obsession and she makes some questionable choices.
Personally I have never had children but I can understand that Liv would be desperate to get well to be there for her child. However, I couldn’t get my head around the decisions she took to achieve her aim. I found myself really disliking her and wanted her to be found out. She decides that some people have more right to live than others which made me very uncomfortable. Would I have felt different if I had children myself? A dark moral dilemma that will have many questioning their actions should they be in a similar position. A good thought provoking read.

I really enjoyed this book. Liv has finally become a mother after a long time of trying and numerous rounds of IVF. So it is a cruel blow when she is diagnosed with a serious heart condition for which a transplant is the only option. But waiting for a donor is a lottery. So when she has access to confidential medical details of blood donors at the surgery where she works, she begins to think she has to take matters in to her own hands. Could she actually go through with murder to save her own life? This is a real page turner that will keep you guessing to the end.

This was a great read. Do I relate to this book more because I am a mother? Maybe. Do some of the thoughts that cross her mind seem totally justified? Maybe. The difference is, thinking them and acting upon them are two totally different things and Liv debates throughout this whole book if she can plot to save herself by committing a heinous crime to do so. It was an absolute rollercoaster of twists and turns. I really couldn’t predict how it was going to end, which I personally believe, is always a sign of a great story, one that keeps you on your toes until the very end.

3.5 rounded up to 4
A quietly intense, domestic thriller, the emotional undercurrent evident throughout.
What would you do to save your own life?
Liv is a dark and unsettling character, but ultimately relatable in every sense. An original storyline, providing depth and highlighting the struggle of her moral dilemma, we’re kept guessing at how far Liv will be willing to go.
An emotional rollercoaster of a debut from Wilding.

Liv is a young mother who finally becomes pregnant after years of infertility. Not long after, she discovers she has a heart condition that is worsened by the pregnancy. Desperate to survive for her baby, Liv needs a heart transplant, and she is willing to do almost anything to make that happen. 👀
This book is unlike anything I have ever read. It explores how far a mother might go to stay with her child and raises powerful moral questions that kept me thinking long after I finished. As a new mom who also struggled with infertility for years, I understood many of Liv’s thoughts.. Though I can confidently say I would never act on these thoughts. 😅 That is exactly what makes this story so compelling.
The Waiting List is a true emotional rollercoaster. And I did not see that ending coming at all!!! 🤯 It’s dark, heartbreaking, and incredibly powerful. If you enjoy women’s fiction, mystery and thriller, I highly recommend picking this one up. 👏

Described as ‘an emotional rollercoaster, an agonising dilemma and a blistering book club debut’ this book was all that and more.
Liv and her husband Justin have been trying for a baby, not long after finding out she is finally pregnant, Liv also finds out she has a life threatening heart condition which will require a transplant.
Whilst on the waiting list for her heart transplant, Liv wonders about how she could make sure she is the next recipient of a matching heart and we are left to wonder how far she will go in order to make it happen.
An emotional story with a psychological thriller feel as Liv struggles with the moral dilemma.
The character of Liv was so well written that you don’t feel what she is doing is wrong, instead you empathise with her and will her to succeed!
I would 100% recommend this book. Great original premise that is so well and beautifully written.

The Waiting List is the author’s debut and it’s a powerful and original novel that I raced through over 24 hours.
Olivia and her husband Justin have been trying to conceive by IVF and when Olivia finally discovers she is pregnant she is also diagnosed with a heart condition. Once her son Max is born, she needs an urgent heart transplant in order to survive. She is determined to survive to raise Max and soon realises she may be forced to go to an extreme to obtain a healthy heart.
This is such a well written and original novel with an excellent plot and characterisation. It’s insightful, empathic and thought provoking as the reader is completely caught up in Olivia’s ethical dilemma. I did find that there was one too many twists by the end but this did not take away from my enjoyment of the novel. One of the best novels I’ve read for a while and I can’t wait to read what the author writes next. Recommended.
4.5 stars.
