For fans of Celeste Ng, Liane Moriarty and Jodi Picoult, this tense and emotional novel follows the fallout after two women’s eggs are switched during IVF.
___________
TWO WOMEN. TWO EGGS. ONE SWITCH.
Katherine is a woman full of obsessions. Everything clean, everything perfect, all of the time. After seven years of trying - and failing - to conceive, she finally gives birth to Rose, her IVF miracle child. But she’s always feared Rose may not be her daughter, her pale skin not matching Katherine’s own.
Tess never got her happy ending. She took on IVF alongside Katherine and a group of hopeful mothers, but her daughter Hanna was stillborn. After a series of desperate choices, she’s divorced, broke, and stuck in a job beneath her skillset.
When Rose is ten months old, both women get a call from the fertility clinic - two women’s eggs were switched. One woman has been raising the wrong daughter, while the other has spent a year grieving a child that wasn’t hers.
Katherine’s perfect life begins to crumble around her, but for Tess it’s the glimmer of hope she needs to get her life back on track. It’ll take a custody battle to decide who deserves to be Rose’s mother, a battle that will push both women to the brink…
