Summary: Good reading, except for one major problem
Review: When I saw this book at the library, I just had to check it out. My husband and I had to see a specialist in order to conceive our first child, so I always find these type of books interesting. However, the problem I had with this book was that I HATED the lead female character. She was the most selfish, inconsiderate person I've ever read about. She had no consideration for her husband's feelings at all. I understand that the hormones can make things difficult, but you can take breaks from fertility treatments for God's sake! (that's how my husband and I dealt with this--when I started getting stressed, we took a couple months off) And throughout the entire book she whined and complained about how inconsiderate her husband is being, and the whole time she's picking fights, refusing to take a break, committing criminal acts, and flying all over the world against her husband's wishes?! Give me a break!I also thought the book became rather dull when she ended up in Hong Kong. That part of the book could have been much shorter.
On a more positive note, I really enjoyed reading about the in-vitro aspect, fortunately I didn't have to go that far to have a child of my own. My husband and I always said we wouldn't go that far, and after reading this book, I believe that would hold true. I also enjoyed the storyline for the most part, and if it weren't for the character of Marissa, I probably would have given this book four stars. I'll have to read Outbreak, and see if I like her better there.
