Baby X: A Thriller by Kira Peikoff
2.0
slow-paced

Sometimes I just don’t vibe with a book. I can see this book has appealed to a number of readers and has made its way onto a number of “best of” and “must-read” lists. I was looking forward to reading it until I was about 30% of the way through and found myself underwhelmed. 

The pacing was slow. The writing was average. The story wasn’t forging a new path or tackling standard paths with new approaches. The characters were interesting but I didn’t find myself getting invested. The science involved and its implications isn’t shocking and is old news in literature. 

It was just below average for me. It’s not something I would recommend to people and it’s going to be easy to forget. 

I was provided a copy of this title by NetGalley and the author. All thoughts, opinions, views, and ideas expressed herein are mine and mine alone. Owing to the fact this review has a three star or lower rating it will not be appearing on my social media. Thank you.
