Two women that are best friends and would do anything for each other end up twisted up in drama and controversy, but it is the way this story is told that was unique and special. Georgia and Alice are both happily married, but Georgia has been trying to have a second child for years and years. Alice will lend her friend an egg, so Georgia can have the one thing she has been yearning for for years.

The way this story was told was fantastic. The first part had Georgia and Alice each telling their stories in their own chapters, but one was going back in time and one started later and was going forward. They eventually converged on a monumental date and the second part had them both moving forward from that date - it was awesome! I wouldn't recommend reading this on an ereader because I had to go back a few times just to check my dates.
