Strong start, weak finish. I felt like this book started out really strong, but finished really weak. Part I is told from Marisa’s perspective, who we believe to be the pregnant partner of Jake. Their relationship appears to take a hit when they must take on a lodger to help cover bills. Kate is difficult to like & appears to be an interloper in the lives of the couple. It is only as Part I segues into Part II that it became obvious to me Marisa had been lying all along. She had in fact been impersonating herself as Jake’s girlfriend, when we find out she is actually the couple’s surrogate. The story takes an even more disturbing turn when we discover she is suffering from manic depression & attempts to hurt Kate. From this point, I continued to wait for something to happen-some plot twist or mind-blowing occurrence, as it seemed unlikely the story would peak so early. I found it very far-fetched that Jake’s mom became an antagonist & tried to spin Marisa’s mental health issue against Kate. Then all of a sudden Marisa was coming to Kate’s defense against Annabelle after all of the awful things that had happened amongst the trio. Tying up the story with a neat little bow & the couple taking a stroll with their newborn son was such a weak way to end the story. Marisa went traveling the world & Jake’s parents weren’t heard from any more. Bland and with no real point-much like Annabelle’s cooking. So much potential, just needed a stronger ending.

Magpie. Very tedious.
