Also some really great (tragically current) commentary on abortion, and the very real fear of alzeimer's and memory loss.
I did want it to be a lil' spookier though, I feel like it kinda sold itself as horror/thriller and the premise could have easily allowed for some more creepy elements

The story is told through two time periods and sometimes I felt like the chapters ended very abruptly and sometimes the flick between the two just felt very choppy instead of flowing.
The plot was very weird and it seemed like the author was going more for shock factor with it. Every time it seems like the plot is getting close to being wrapped up, something else happens almost like the author was just trying to throw things in there and some of it disrupted the flow a bit.
For a debut, it's good and I'll be interested to see what the author does in the future. Overall a good book, but the flow and pacing fell a bit off.
