This book sucked me in from the beginning and kept me reading until the end. Rachel and James met and he knew she was his soul mate. They marry and things are going great until they have trouble getting pregnant. James has a new, very attractive employee that goes on a trip with him. Does James stray? Rachel’s ex-lover Brandon also returns to town. Does she stray? I won’t leave any spoilers, but I will say this beautifully written book will not disappoint you. I also loved who turned out to be Rachel’s best friend ever. I was rooting for Rachel and James and I was so happy with the ending. Grab your copy and get ready to fall in love with this book.
When I first started reading this book I didn’t think I was going to like it. Well how wrong was I. It’s really good. Different from what I’ve been reading a lot of lately but really kept my interest and I didn’t want to stop reading until the very end. The situation that happens in the book was written very well and showed a side to the characters that mirrored real life.
Well written and emotional, I was able to identify with this book on so many levels. Having traveled the road of infertility, miscarriages and the desperation to have a child of my own, the author’s insights into Rachel’s state of mind are amazing. Struggling to fall pregnant is, for the most part, a very private affair, but after a while it becomes obvious to those around us that there are “issues”. James’ insensitive mother brought about a strong reaction in me, together with the feelings of not being good enough. The temptation to have a child at any price, the blinkered approach to one’s marriage that if only there was a child they could experience fulfillment, the dreadful and sometimes painful medical procedures, are just some of the difficulties facing childless couples. Rachel and James eventually reach that point where they have to make choices about their future, and even that is taking a risk. Although the book does come to a happy and satisfying conclusion, I nevertheless felt as if a mechanical grader had gone over my soul, leaving me feeling vulnerable and emotional, but grateful for the blessings I enjoy. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.
