Unsettling Thriller

What a tense read!! From the moment the situation becomes apparent a creeping feeling of unease is ever-present, I did not relax while reading this book.

When faced with the unimaginable horror of discovering their child was swapped at birth Pete and Maddie have to question everything, while dealing with a new family so suddenly entangled in theirs.

I loved the growing tension and unease I felt reading this book.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for the copy of this book.

"The Kid saved my sanity while I waited for my kid. I’m 32, I’ve had a home visit, I’ve filled out the paperwork, and now I’m waiting and waiting to be picked by a birth mother to adopt her baby. Through it all, I keep on my person a tattered copy of this Dan Savage book. How the story of a white gay couple adopting a baby boy feels like exactly the same journey as a single black woman adopting a baby girl is its magic."

"For centuries, the making of textiles has traditionally fallen to women. And, the subsequent fabrics they create are often regarded as frivolous objects. But from birth to death, fabric is a constant in our lives, and has been for centuries. In The Golden Thread: How Fabric Changed History Kassia St. Clair deftly, and exhaustively tackles the 30,000 year history of fabric. This isn’t a book I devoured from start to finish, but I keep returning to whenever I start to take fibers for granted."
