I haven't done much reading lately. I've been way too busy watching gymnastics meets that I've already seen a dozen times and/or that I attended in person. Oh, and crocheting scarves. And scarves. And scarves.
My reading time is usually limited to the few minutes after I go to bed before I get sleepy. Sometimes that's only a matter of two or three minutes; sometimes it's 30.
I did manage to squeeze this one in during the last couple of weeks, reading it on my iPad.
I was confused by the plot line at first. I understood what was going on, but it took me a while to make the connections among all the characters. (Sometimes I'm a little slow.)
The story is about a woman who decides to become a surrogate, the woman who wants a baby, her step-daughter, and the egg donor. Each chapter is told from the point of view of one of the characters. Sometimes I find that annoying, but it worked very well in this book. I am in awe of authors who can adapt to different characters' voices and still carry the plot line forward.
This book was a very good read, not predictable at all. I found the characters very human and could relate to most of them easily.

Jodi Picoult does that in every one of her books. Sometimes I have found it to be annoying, but mostly it works really well. I haven't read this author... yet.
This sounds interesting. It'll have to go on the wish list since I'm not buying these days.
Thank you for providing such a valuable information and thanks for sharing this matter.
