Dark and interesting, and very well done. A good summer page-turner. ( )

Grande déception pour ce titre de Douglas Kennedy, dont je suis pourtant une grande fan...j'ai été habituée à mieux ! ( )

This book is one of those typical relationship stories. They meet, they fall in love, surprisingly all goes well. She gets pregnant, they make a commitment and settle down. Then there are difficulties, financial and healthwise, and suddenly things fall apart.
Apart from the fact that I don't think it's a particularly original story in the first place, I also thought the author dwelled on the decline into post natal depression far too long. I was about to give up on the book because it took 200 pages before someone diagnosed her with it (although it felt more like 350). I'll give the book a 6 out of 10, because it does pick up in the end and becomes an interesting courtroom drama and gets another couple of intersting characters.

Gdybym byla autorem tej ksiazki, to uatrakcyjnilabym zakonczenie poprzez zasugerowanie, ze cala ta opowiesc byla owocem wyobrazni Tony'ego , ze to byla wlasnie ksiazka, ktora on pisal po nocach.
Inna opcja, to zasugerowac, ze ciaza i odebranie dziecka bohaterce bylo ukartowane przez Tony'ego i jego nowa kobiete od samego poczatku, za niewiedza bohaterki oczywiscie. ( )
