Clare Elias has it all together. A handsome younger husband, a successful chain of flower shops and pregnant with twins. When the twins come however, Clare finds herself lost and overwhelmed, and does what she swore she would never do - she hires a nanny. Jenna is young, smart and organized, making Clare feel worse. And then Clare's husband's secrets come to light, throwing the whole family, including Jenna, into turmoil.
I read this book in a day. Granted, it was Sunday and I didn't do anything else all day - literally - but it was that good. Told in alternately viewpoints - Clare's, Jenna's, Clare's husband's, her brother's and her mother's - I knew exactly what everyone was thinking throughout the entire novel. The only thing that bothered me was that near the end, the scenes overlapped a lot, with everyone telling their side and it got tedious in some parts.
Any woman who has had a baby and then wondered what they got themselves into can identify with Clare. Jenna is a young woman, trapped in a relationship she doesn't know how to end, loving babies that don't belong to her.
Overall, a very good book. I would read more by this author for sure.
