Default ~The Midwife's Confession -Discussion *May Contain Spoilers*~

I just started this book. Only on page 110 or so.

I feel like there is a ton of foreshadowing going on and that I already know some of the things that are going to happen. YKWIM?

Not sure if I'm enjoying the jumping around between characters and time periods. It seems quite random and not just back and forth.

Anyhow, how are you enjoying this book?

I finished the book and wrote a review on Goodreads with tons of spoilers. I read instead of watching tv last night because my DH was at work. It was a good book but I think the author should have stuck to one or two problems instead of so many of them. It was very Jodi Piccoult like so if you like Jodi Piccoult I'd recommend it.

I finished this book up last week and I found it to be a good read. I agree that was a lot of problems in the book and the end almost felt rush to solve them all. I was surprised at the end through when it wasn't the one girl but the other. I did not see that coming at all.

I finished this on Tuesday. I really liked the book and plan to read more by this author. I agree there were lots of problems/conflicts, but at the same time, I didn't have a problem with it and I thought it read well.

I just finished the book. not sure I liked it. It was very well written, but it took forever for me to get into it and it brought up a lot of negative emotions for me..not probably a good idea for me to read it at this time.

I read this book on my own and I really liked it. I thought there were some good twists that I didn't see coming. I figured that one of the girls had to have been switched.

I do enjoy Diane Chamberlain's books. If you want to read more by her, I recommend The secret life of Cee-Cee Wilkes. I also agree that her books do tend to be similar to Jodi Piccoult's. The Summer Child was good, but at points it was a little predictable.
