Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!
I enjoyed the dual viewpoint and glimpse into the history of giving birth in the 1970s, but overall found the plot somewhat lacking. I think I was waiting for this to be a mystery/thriller, but it wasn't--but it did get fairly dark. Not sure if I would recommend as a go-to, but I wouldn't stop someone from reading it!
