I was unprepared for this book. Unlike the other novels in Hoover’s collection, where most of her books seem to be covering toxic relationships, this one was covering a fairly heavy topic - infertility & the affect it can have on relationships. I felt the devastation within the character, so well captured, I felt the very real grief as I naturally slipped into a sort of character relatability. I’ve never experienced what they’ve been through & I felt so much sadness for the characters & anyone who’s been in those shoes, but at the same time, reading this made me feel conflicted. A lack of communication always frustrates me & makes me feel a disassociation with the characters & their journey. While this was a tougher read than I was probably looking for, it was still well written & felt realistic to me.
