FTC: I received a free copy of this book from iREAD Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
The Birth Mother by Seymour Ubell was an interesting book for the most part. There were times where I would get annoyed with how the story was being told. At times I had a hard time knowing if the author was talking or if the ghostwriter was talking. I kind of understand why the book was written the way it was but it also bugged me a good part of the book. I just wanted them to pick one point of view and stick to that throughout the entire book. I did feel bad for Shan throughout the entire book and I understand why she made the choices that she did because of the hell that she went through. I did enjoy the story that this book told and I loved getting to know real people and learn their stories through the author. It made me sad that things like this happen in the world but I know that they still happen. If you are looking for a book to read that will make you think I would recommend this book to you.
