This was certainly a fast read. In general, I enjoyed it - this topic of adoption was interesting, but it wasn't really what I expected. I think I was hoping it would be a bit more like a Jodi Picoult book and it wasn't. The characters, I think, were what was lacking - they weren't entirely fleshed out and the P.O.V.s, particularly of the children were weak. The writing was a little weak too - but that was probably more to do with the fact that I have been reading so much Anne Rice lately and this author's writing was just so... English. Usually, I enjoy English voices, but, I don't know, overall this book seemed average at best. I would probably not have purchased other books of hers, but I got a few at the dollar racks all at the same time...
