4.5

It took a little while for me to get into this, I thought maybe the foreshadowing was a bit heavy handed and that I knew where things were going. I was SO WRONG! 

When the action picked up, I felt like I had drank too many espressos! My heart was actually racing! 
I ended up staying up late to finish it, I just couldn’t put it down!

I wish I could give it 5 stars, because it really did what a thriller should towards the end! And the portrayal of all the different phases and challenges of womanhood and motherhood came through so strongly. 
But I did find it really quite difficult at the start, so with that as the only con, 4.5 stars.
