I really wanted to like to book as I have experience working in childcare and thought it could be an interesting premise but I was sadly disappointed. I was appalled and found myself shaking my head at so many rules and safety procedures not followed at this nursery that could have deterred majority of this plot to happen.

There were way too many tropes, storylines and twists that it was overwhelming and unenjoyable. The characters were not likable and the book just focused on everyone’s flaws. 

I appreciate the attempt to bring attention to important and controversial topics such as mental illness, miscarriages, addiction, chronic illness, criminal acts and parenting; unfortunately this book tried to tackle a bit of everything and didn’t succeed in the proper representation. 

Thank you to NetGalley & Bookouture for the arc in exchange for an honest review.
