4.5.
Me gusto mucho que la autora no solo se centrara en la trama del misterio de quién es en realidad la esposa de Daniel, sino que le diera igual peso a los problemas del trabajo de él. Supo mantener muy bien la intriga, se va muy rápido, tal vez al principio con tantos puntos de vista te confunde, pero rápido se le agarra el paso.

Really conflicted on what to rate this book. On one hand it was an engrossing story from the first page. The plot was excellent and each of the multiple point of views worked, which is rare because usually head jumping drives me nuts. The plot was furthered in each POV. However, I really didn’t care for the relationship side story and getting toward the end and discovering who the main character was ...was shocking, but I quickly went from shocked to pissed when the main story/problem was NOT resolved. I felt cheated because the characters I came emotionally involved with ended up being sacrificed and the story left open ended with the harm continuing. So this went from a five star top book of the year to being a totally unsatisfying read. Seriously?! You don’t write a story about that heavy of an issue and then just say okay I reached my word count let’s just end it and leave the issue unsolved! I feel like I am being generous in giving it three stars...

This is my least favorite JJ book, unfortunately.
While this book is well written, it leaves something to be desired. I don’t know if I was looking for a different outcome, or a bit more action, but this one just fell flat for me :|
The story line is eye opening, in regards to vaccines and their necessity (or non necessity- depending on your view point!) but there’s a lot of loose ends, I feel like.

Read this in one sitting! Suspenseful thriller that keeps you wondering until the end.
I really hope there’s a follow up.

I have enjoyed this book very much! I enjoy the suspense the author brings to the book. This book talks about some very scary issues for doctors and kids. It may hit home for many parents yet not being a parent I still see how scary this book was. I enjoyed the characters and I was sad for the mother in this story. I would read more from this author. This was a great thriller book for me! *This book was given to me for free at my request from NetGalley and I provided this voluntary review.*

Ok, first of all, I only got to page 21 so there is a possibility that this book completely transformed into something actually readable later on, but I doubt it.
I am one of those people who think that reading is always good for you, but this book made me doubt that. I honestly felt like I would have ended up dummer if I kept on going on. The book starts off by introducing a complete caricature character and how he falls in love with this beautiful AND intelligent waitress and marries her. Great. Then we move on to hear about the main character's work life through lines such as these: "But presentations from pharmaceutical corporations were important. All the doctors and nurse practitioners relied heavily on them for information on new drugs. With a visit from a drug manufacturer, they could learn everything they needed to know about a pharmaceutical in as little as five to ten minutes and start writing prescriptions immediately".
Someone mentioned in another review that this book is anti-vax propaganda and based on the above, I agree.

This is a good story with most of it revolving around an immunoceutical; a vaccine or preventative type drug for children. I can see this happening. This was a sad story and it feels like it should and might be a series? I guess I will have to keep watch. I’m going to do research and check. This does not make me trust doctors and pediatricians. Oh well, I double check things myself anyway. Doctors are human too. I don’t even agree with some of my pets’ vaccinations.
This book really makes you think: how much DO the doctors know and which ones care; and how much of it are they told to leave out? How much of these new meds are a bonus payday ? Shudder. Very informative and thought provoking. It also shows how alcoholism can destroy a bright future.
