This isn’t a book I would normally pick up, but I’m thankful to a friend for inviting me for a buddy read/listen. I really enjoyed the 1st person POV and the writing, in general. It was maddening, moving, and ultimately heartfelt. A great read.
Loved this entire book; liked the characters, the story line, and didn’t want it to end!

I had this book on my shelf for years and to be honest I was afraid to read it
Because of the topic and the warnings from other readers.
I’ve tried to wait for the “right time” Yeah, let me put it this way, for this emotional and heartbreaking story is always the right time, because you have to read it to appreciate your own life …
In this book, a pregnant wife has a terrible accident and is in a coma. Her husband must make the choice whether or not to let her live until the baby is born or to pull the plug.
