4.5 ⭐️s. Really well written and the story sucked me in. I identified quite a bit with Nora - while not infertile, we struggled to get pregnant and had 2 miscarriages so I get the whole emotional rollercoaster and struggle around other new parents she felt.

I thought the character development was great and there was so much anxiety I felt for Nora during so much of it, making me want to know what was next. The disparity between Nora/Jacob and Evelyn was well done and the tension conveyed perfectly, and while the friendship was a little dysfunctional, it was a great story about grace, generosity and forgiveness.

While there were things in the book I wish went differently, the imperfection of the story felt authentic. Overall I enjoyed this one a lot.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book. All opinions are mine.
