Better than I was expecting
The psychology of being a parent and how our past affects our present.
I started this book with trepidation, I thought it was going to be about court battles over babies, but was pleasantly surprised to find there was no court at all! I actually quite enjoyed it, and although I wasn't particularly surprised by the twist I was sucked in by the drama of it and couldn't put it down towards the end.
Worth a read - not too heavy, not too light!

I'm really struggling to get through this one ...
I am more than halfway through this book and don't understand how it's a bestseller? The concept is quite interesting but the main character couldn't be any more boring or unlikeable - so self focussed and unattractively obsessed with her daughter. I'd hate to be living in her head with her thoughts which I feel like I am as the book is from her perspective. She has almost zero concern/interest for her biological daughter which seems quite unrealistic to me as a mother.
The narration is just as boring and I find it distracting when the female narrator tries to (badly) put on male character voices.
Perhaps this book is better read rather than listened to as it wouldn't take so long and the narration wouldn't detract from the story.
