Please lower the price of this book. It isn’t fair to price a best seller from the New York Times at $9 and price this book 20% higher.

Pricepoint is unacceptable. Readers should fight back with tools they have… refuse to buy and one star reviews

Worst book I have read in a long time:
-S-l-o-w plot
-Overly graphic medical descriptions
-I didn’t know or care eventually what the main character was trying to accomplish.
-The “love story” of the adoptive parents isn’t really a love story. Two people who work at the same place start raising twins together.
-Without giving away anything- It’s just bad. Don’t waste your money

Story would have been better if it had been 100 pages less. I finally started skimming just to get to the end.

I have not finished this book, not sure if I can. I can’t get passed that a trained nurse who is carrying twins would not know she was pregnant, and not ask or scream for help when in a critical health situation. After all this woman somehow managed to get herself to a hospital traveling quite a long distance with blood dripping down between her legs. I cannot get passed that the surgeon who secretly loves this woman and has worked with her everyday for seven years would not check up on her immediately when she was not present in the OR. Being in the health care industry, it is interesting to read the medical terminology in the book, but makes me wonder if a casual reader would understand everything. All the colorful words cannot cover up this credibility issue for me.
