What would you do for the friend who slept with your boyfriend Nate and then had his child, not only that but for three years keep you in the dark about it, letting you love that child, become its Godmother and then have the bombshell of its parentage dropped on you from a great height?
Two years later out of the blue Kamryn gets a letter on her birthday from Adele asking her to visit her in hospital where she is dying.
Kamryn reluctantly goes to see her and to her complete and utter shock Adele begs her to adopt her daughter, Tegan. With a job she loves, a hectic social life that does not include kids, kittens and motherhood, the last thing Kamryn needs is a five year child old tied to her designer apron strings. Especially not a child who reminds her so much of a time she would rather forget.
This is a really gripping book; as it claws you in from the word go. It's defiantly not for a younger minded reader, you have to have a quite a sophisticated grown up mind for this book. Though at one point I think I recall myself with a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat.
It's very much so a reality check for Kamryn and then when Tegan interferes in her work and love life, it makes the outcome a very odd one!
I would give this book a 4* rating as it's good but there's room for improvement, as it does get a bit tedious and slightly boring, it's almost like really life and no book should really be that way.
