Well shoot. I bought this book only hours ago and now I'm ugly crying and laughing at the same time.

I love books like this that suck you in and feel so real you forget it's not happening to you.

I won't go too much into the plot but will say that the main character was faced with an impossible choice between not finding out the truth and keeping her son or investigating and losing him. It was written really well because most of the time, the mom didn't know herself what she would do. And she flip flopped a few times and doubted herself throughout. It felt authentic.

The pace was just about perfect until the last couple chapters where it felt a bit rushed. I was completely shocked at the revelations contained in the violent battle but it worked. After that was resolved, I wasn't surprised at how the child custody was sorted out but I liked it.

I didn't really love the last chapter which was one of those One Year Later things. It felt too ... Perfect. Considering how authentic the rest of the book was, it felt a bit fake.

I'll definitely read this again!

After book club last night, consensus was that this book is too full of contrived plot twists, unbelievable circumstances and tired cliches. Scottoline usually does much better than this. Yes, it's fiction, but it was almost tedious.

From the first mention of the "lop-sided grin" of the boyfriend-bad guy, you HAD to know where THAT was going. Scottoline does describe some of the choices/emotions/conflicts that a single mom experiences, but even that seems like she is quoting something she read in a self-help column. The handsome Latin boss, the always-good-natured caregiver, the bad bad boyfriend, the shallow co-worker... all cliches.

Book club wasn't sure whether some of the contrived circumstances were a feeble attempt to elicit an emotional response or whether just a bad plot turn. E.g., was the fact that Sarah's husband is found to have MS and in a wheelchair supposed to make the reader more compassionate about her selfish actions? If so, there should have been more than 2 sentences and one earlier reference to him.

Scottoline seems to throw all kinds of plot twists and turns and contrived cricumstances up against the way, just to see what sticks. Dead Mom, Dad remarrying, Trust find intact, Amy is found then permanently lost, stalking for DNA, layoffs at work, etc. Yuk.

Skip this one & go back to some of Scottoline's older works to see what's up with Bennie. It will be far more entertaining. Boy, this is one edition I wish I could take to Half-Price Books or donate.
Tedious, predictable, poorly written and lacking editorial skills. No, I did not like it ! Obviously written quickly to turn a kindle profit dollar, guess it did, sigh. The heroine was no role model for working mothers. She totally ignores both her child and her job, not considering either as she plows through a self motivated journey into the ridiculous ~
The first third of the "book" almost made me give up, but, I had paid and thought I should stick it out, waste of time and expectation. I should have stopped and read the oh so predictable last couple pages, everyone, friends & foes, except the oh so silly dead ones, lived happily blah blah blah
Could have been good, but an illegal adoption remains an illegal adoption. Plus, who jumps in bed with new love at the instant you realize your son's life is endangered?
This is another hit from Ms. Scottoline. Her books and story lines rival Grisham and Pattersons'. I’ve tried to get my friends into reading her books, but for some reason, they feel there is no one better than Patterson. I agree his story lines and plots are great, but as noted earlier, she is surely in there class of writers with her storylines and plots, maybe fresher, better? You have to give her a try.
This is the sixth book of Scottoline's I've read and I still haven't learned my lesson. Her books start out so interesting ... It's so easy to put yourself in the character's place. But the endings are always disappointing. Once again, the antagonist ends up explaining why he did what he did to the victim---- so unrealistic. This is my last book by this author.
I love Lisa. With the exception of a few books I've read all her work. This book was an easy read, I recommend it on a plane or a beach and only if you got it free. Major spoilers here, if one can spoil anything this bad. I hated the characters. The only character I felt for was Bill, Will/Timothys father/not father. The premise was great and in the hands of Lisa should have been awesome. Her problem was trying to put so many twists and turns on it she forgot to actually flesh out the characters. First Lisa is a lawyer. When I read a book like this from an author who is a lawyer I expect SOME things to not be so off the wall they are laughable. Sure, writers make crap up and write for entertainment but THIS BAD? Regardless of WHO the biological father is the law would recognize the man who was married to the woman at the time of birth. Having adopted a child who turned out to be kidnapped and given up for adoption illegally only to be exposed and whose mother conveniently died, whose (supposed) father conveniently died and whose mother had no other heirs except the man she listed as the father at the time of birth and was married to at the time of birth was too convenient. Guess what folks? THAT MAN holds all the cards. Main character? NO kid for YOU. And then the crime scene in the kitchen where there's blood everywhere. They ripped up the floor and painted over the blood stained walls with pretty green paint. Um yea, not. heads up people, if that happens call in the professionals to clean it up. SS And the kid really? Smartest kid out there. At 3. Lisa, you keep spewing out crap like that and I'm done. Are you a paranormal romance writer with your sappy ending or a thriller write? And I LOVE paranormal so no comments folks. I ca't even go on. It's bad. Save your money.
