I would not categorise this one as a thriller, but probably more a contemporary scifi suspense novel. I think it'd be a good intro novel if you want to get into either scifi or thrillers/suspense while being more into the other genre. This was my first Gailey novel and I will DEFINITELY be reading more of their work in the future. I had a ton of fun with this one & flew threw it. It's on the shorter end, length-wise, but the pacing was well done & characters engaging. Evelyn is awful & I love her. Martine deserved better & I honestly wouldn't mind a short story taking place a bit in the future after this story ends just to see how everyone turns out.
A great way to ease into the spooky season!

It was a quick read, I flew through the book in days, however, I did expect something a bit more 'thrilling' or with a bit more depth.
I liked that the man was the one who was obsessed with having a baby, as it's usually women portrayed in this role. I didn't mind that the science was flimsy because I don't wanna be reading a science book!!
I expected more from the 'plot twist' & ending which was a bit disappointing.
Overall, I didn't love the book but I didn't hate it either.

There was a lot of repetition. It often felt like the author just didn't know what to write to flesh out the story. I kept waiting for twists and turns that I would have included in the story, but they never came. Basically I am saying that I maybe could of helped with brainstorming this plot. I'm not saying I could do it better, but I just saw this taking a more sinister path.
