I tried, I really did, but I DNF. At page 43 I closed the book and said the hell with this. Later the next day I picked it up and tried again. It took me three more days just to get to page 93. I really hated this book. I absolutely despised the main character Olivia. Olivia is a flippin idiot. I can't describe her any other way. The woman is not right in the head and it's not even an endearing not right in the head. She has to be the stupidest character I have ever had the misfortune of coming across. I have no idea what makes her think she would have ever been able to raise a baby. At the point I got to, I didn't even care anymore whether or not she would get the baby or what she would do with it when she got it. I did want to finish Ruby's story and what happened to her in the end, but I couldn't bear to listen to Olivia babble one more minute.
