An intriguing moral dilemma lies at the hear of this book - whether to keep a person who is brain dead alive for the sake of their unborn fetus. In this particular case it is Emma's mother Lisa who is being kept alive by machines for the sake of her unborn son by her husband, Emma's stepfather Dan. You could debate for hours about the moral and ethical sides, personally it's all a no from me, just let me die.
I loved the characters, I completely understand Emma's anger and I feel that it was well-written. Emma and Olivia's relationship was amazing, perfectly balanced. I wanted to know more about Olivia though and in particular her aversion to technology. I liked that Caleb was a slow-burn type of character and that Dan wasn't the stereotypical evil stepparent. I wanted more from the ending regarding the baby and the future.
4/5 stars.
