Mostly, this book was terribly awkward for me to read.

I was sure from the beginning that keeping the baby wasn’t going to work. And I had to keep reading and Isabel had to keep being dumb and selfish and it made me wish she’d smarten up and do the right thing (give the baby back). The entire book talks only about when Tom and Izz had the baby, and then when she suddenly appears a week after Isabel dies twenty years later. Their entire lives seemed to revolve around Lucy-Grace. Ok fine, maybe that’s how it should be, but she wasn’t even theirs. What did they do in the twenty years they weren’t with her? Did they ever live? I still feel awkward. Am I missing something or what.

Two stars because I was happy at the beginning, and even a little bit sad at the end. Another star because it convinced me for certain sure never to just keep a baby if I ever find one.
