REVIEW

Being stuck in an unhappy marriage to Nick instead of leaving Sarah agrees to have a baby ?!? What was she thinking? Clearly not thinking at all as she soon becomes pregnant fairly quickly, which seemed to surprise her – but being a GP she should know how long it could potentially take right? I didn’t take to Sarah much, she tied herself then tried put all the blame on her husband, she never once voiced her wants and needs and then when baby Kayla is stolen after she willing handed the baby to a total stranger so she could eat her dinner I just about lost it! No woman in their right mind would have done that.. right? I am surely not the only one who would have eaten a cold dinner.

Despite my feelings for Sarah, I was invested after kidnapping and that twist I definitely did not seeing coming what so ever! I was unexpected and totally out of left field.
