Well structured, well written. Distinct voices for each of the characters and a clear division between two timelines.
One of my most disliked tropes is infidelity and this novel had a hefty dose of it. What Yejide and Akin do to each other is painful and unpleasant to witness and I didn't enjoy the reading of it. This, more than the subject of child loss (despite being a mother myself), was the thing that brought the novel down for me.

Bella 'impostazione con due voci narranti che si alternano e raccontano i fatti dalla propria prospettiva.
Un romanzo che fa piangere, arrabbiarsi, ma anche sperare. Lo consiglio!
