verumsolum's review against another edition
I hate DNF-ing a book, but this one keeps glancing off parts of my past that are too sensitive for me to be comfortable with that. Between things that happened early in her life and the fact that we both left behind the same first name, it feels like it’s always on the verge of painful emotional territory for me. Please don’t take any of this as any judgment about the book; I didn’t read far enough to form a good opinion, and my reactions to it are (I think) more about my life history than anything Billings has written.

I have to confess I wasn’t familiar with Alex before I picked up this book. I warmed to her as her story progressed and learned a lot in the process. An amazing story and I’ll check out some of the series she has appeared in (noting what to expect in any hospital ones!).
