Phenomenal! I couldn't put it down. This book will break your heart, throw it on the floor, stomp on it, then shove it back in your chest, askew and only half-healed. I expected a heartwrenching-turned-heartwarming women's fiction, and a happily-ever-after between Jasmine and Rebecca as co-mothers, but it turns out, this is a Lifetime-esque thriller, and I'm not complaining!! If you want a wild ride, read this!
