Yes I read it. It’s excellent, the subject matter might not be for everyone ( abortion ) but it’s well done with a spectacular twist at the end ! definitely should read it

I thought the premise was good but I didn’t like the reverse order of the chapters.

It’s supposed to arrive via mail today. I’ve been disappointed in the reviews! I’ve read a lot of people didn’t like it. I’m hoping it’s good!

not my favorite of hers. It was written (except for the last chapter) in reverse chronology.

I’m finishing it now, wouldn’t recommend, just didn’t grab me like all of her other books did. It’s written chronologically backwards and I think that threw me off.

Reading now and I like it but I agree, the reverse order takes away from it. I would have liked it more told in chronological order.

I actually loved it! The reverse order did not bother me at all, in fact, I thought it was a great way to tell the story. It will really make you think about both sides of the abortion issue.

Rena Skoog , I am about 45% in and it has gotten much easier. You definately have to pay attention from the start

I have my copy-actually accidentally preordered two-but currently finishing a library book. Anyone like a copy? I would happily do a trade for one of your books!

Yes. I loved it. Took awhile to get used to the way it was written. I know I will read it again in a few months. Lots to think about! I suggest keeping a character chart. I didn’t and wish I did as I would forget.

I thought the same thing! Going to try reading it “backwards”-starting at 8am. I can only imagine how difficult it was to write!
