We found the subject of the book was very interesting. Some of us found the chapter headings with the character and month/year to be helpful, others found it annoying. There were a few parts of the storyline that we felt didn't ring true. It did lead to an interesting discussion about fertility and multiple births. |

The book brought about an interesting discussion about surrogacy. There were mixed feelings about recommending the book. |

For the first time ever, every person in our club enjoyed this book. It engendered some very philosophical and moral conversations about "what makes up a family?", "nature vs nurture" etc. |

A topical subject and very relevant to today's lifestyle choices, but not to everyone's taste. Interesting discussion. |

Good insight into surrogacy. Good discussion topics about what we would do in this situation. |

Very small meeting but interesting discussion, given the themes. We all enjoyed the book but opinions varied as to what we would do in the mother's place. The pull of the child you have carried would be so strong, yet the effect on all others in the scenario could be devastating. Not a decision we would like to have to make. |

A lot of discussion. Well-written, easy to read and understand. The effect of mental health issues on family relationships and the development of children is presented to readers. Surrogacy became complex in this story - Maggie thought she had control but science and life are not always as expected. |

This is the perfect book for a book discussion group - many and varied opinions. So many avenues to explore. Interestingly though, the writing style and the depth of the characters ( or lack thereof) were scored poorly by the members. |

Great subject, with N.Z. looking at these laws at the moment. One dimensional characters however, not 'fleshed out' enough, and the language didn't change between characters. |
