This book was quite a compulsive read and I found I wanted to read more to find out what happens, but I was skim reading as the narrative wasn't too impressive and I didn't fully believe in the characters or their total lack of emotional intelligence. There were several interesting aspects to the story which would have been interesting to explore but somehow it just didn't ring true. What happened, the reactions of the protagonists and the lightning switches of emotion just didn't feel possible. In the pursuit of getting what you want in life - how far is too far? This is the sentiment that is embedded in this story. Hollie is married to Richard and she is desperate for a baby. As a last resort, she explores surrogacy and turns to her sister Scarlett for help. Scarlett agrees to be a surrogate mother for Hollie and Richard - for her own reasons - and things spiral out of control. This book explores the complexities of relationships and the sacrifices made that shape them. It is told from both the point of views of both sisters and also a third, more obscure view of a wish balloon. I do understand why the author added this part, but, for me, it didn't really 'work'. There were just a little too many "odd" things about this story that prevents me from rating it higher than I have. The ending is far too open for my tastes ... and I often don't mind endings that are a bit open ended. This one doesn't really resolve the MAIN issue in the whole book!
