Synopsis: Caroline has a one track mind. She wants a baby, and she’s willing to do anything to get what she wants. Her husband promised her she’d have her wish. When a secret from his past threatens to ruin Caroline’s plans, she takes matters into her own hands. His lies soon become her own web of lies and deceit.

Reese is desperate for a child too, but years of infertility and loss have jaded her. Secrets and lies have become second nature. The secrets she’s kept from her daughter. The lies to her husband about pregnancy tests. Reese hides behind these lies, protecting her family from truths that could hurt them and her.

Their lives are woven together in a way neither women understand. An unlikely, fragile friendship is born. Can it withstand the secrets and lies?

Review: I felt that this book was really emotional. It’s a great book to read if you want to cry, cause dangit you’re gonna cry during it. The characters are well developed, the plot is interesting, and the writing was really well done. I felt really well connected to the characters even though I haven’t gone through what they have before.

However, I do feel that the book was a bit uneven in pacing. It was slow then fast and then a normal speed. I also feel that readers might not connect as much to the characters unless they have also experienced what they have or are empathetic like I am. I also became really really irked with all the lying, but I feel that was the purpose of the book.

Verdict: A great read!
