From the back cover:

Sometimes the choice is too hard to bear... Nikki Grant is only 21 when she discovers she’s pregnant. Despite her parents’ disappointment and anger, she welcomes the news with joy. The baby will complete the happy home she shares with the man she adores, Spencer James. Baby Zac arrives and is perfect in every way. And with Spencer’s career taking off they are ready to make the big move to London. And then, on a day like any other, Nikki suddenly finds her life turned upside down by tragedy. As she becomes evermore embroiled in a world she cannot escape, the love between Nikki and her son is put to the kind of test no mother should ever have to face…

First of all Nicki is not 19, but a 21 graduate of university trying to make it a a screenwriter. This is very different to 19, though you can understand her parents lack of enthusiasm when she tells them she is pregnant.

At first this seemed just like any novel detailing a young womans fear of becoming a mother and being left behind by friends and boyfriend who are starting to be successful. It was about page 270 before the "nightmare" began, which if I am being honest I was a bit bored and the book seemed to consist of nothing more than descriptions of being pregnant, having a baby and what they baby was doing, even down to what outfits he wore. I persisted as I had been given the book by a friend and I knew that I would have to tell her what I thought.

Once the "nightmare" had begun I could see that the protracted descriptions surrounding the baby emphasised how important he had become to their lives, which meant you felt the impact of the "nightmare" more deeply. The book then became more interesting and heart wrenching.

The book did have unexpected twists and turns; I certainly did not guess what the "nightmare" was going to be, and afterwards there were stil some 'red herrings'. I had even misunderstood what 'the choice' was until near the very end. I was not that keen on the way that the story was wrapped up though.

Left while on a visit to the hospital.

If you were lucky enough to find this book please journal it to say where you found it, and then what you thought of it.
