Hold My Girl by Charlene Carr
3.5
challenging emotional tense fast-paced

This book was incredibly fast paced and exciting. It sparked conversations amongst my friends and family as we discussed the bizarre and traumatic plot points, and what we would do in those situations. I started reading with a clear idea of who I believed should raise the child, and whilst the outcome was as I expected and hoped, the story still challenged my thoughts and I empathised with both perspectives. I think this is an important read for a lot of people, and a challenging topic to have discussed. However, the writing style was not very descriptive or enjoyable - reading essentially a document of "this happened then this happened then this happened" was very monotonous so I would advise caution if you enjoy artistic and stylistic writing.
