I just read a Coleen Hoover book with the exact same plot

young girl wracked with guilt over an ACCIDENT goes to jail not knowing she’s pregnant, has the baby, gives it up, gets out and decides maybe it was a mistake.

It’s starting to feel like a trope. And why is it always a girl? Just…unimpressive.

I truly can’t decided if this is a 3 or 4 star read for me. I’m going to leave it at 3 bc I don’t think I’d recommend it when Hannah has other novels I love. I was entertaining by part one. It’s an easy read with many complicated relationships. Part two was really underwhelming and overly descriptive. It was straight forward and could have ended 80 pages shorter. Overall I enjoyed it bc I loved the kids.

Gripping. Hopeful. Healing. 
This was yet another incredible book by Kristin Hannah. 

Centred around grief, healing, love and family this book is on the heavier side and will start you off will a full happy heart, evoke emotion from you, break your heart and mend it back together. 

Lexie is a character you won’t forget; she’s strong, she’s smart, she thinks of others first, always. Lexie exudes responsibility, maturity and knowing right and wrong when facing her fate in the aftermath of a deadly car crash. 

Lexie knows that no amount of time served will ever make up for the choice she made on Night Road, and she will forever have to remember her role in it. She not only lost her best friend, but her love and her second family and more. Lexie doesn’t intend to stay and cause the Farraways anymore turmoil or grief, but then she sees her daughter who happens to remind Lexie or a younger version of herself… lost, friendless and sad. That moment changes everything, but it’ll be up to the Farraways if Lexie will ever be able to see her daughter. 

Kristin Hannah does an amazing job of transporting you right into the story as this book unfolds. The writing is beautiful and gripping, the storyline will pull at your heart strings.
