I agree. Cynthia's reaction, as flawed as it may seem, but it's utterly human. I can understand where she's coming from. Thank you for the insight.Ferdinand_otieno wrote: ↑01 Jun 2019, 09:46 I think the experience was used in order to show how Cynthia as a character could grow in the course of the book. Her character's reaction to the entire ordeal was realistic and moving....including the need to keep it a secret, just to contain the knowledge-as unrealistic ad it seemed. That was Cynthia as a complex 'humane' character.

The situation as a whole was very hard to read after already reading about the Plan B and the second prescription. This plot line was HORRIBLE in my opinion.

Yeah, it is unlikely one would forget a thing like being pregnant.cpru68 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2019, 01:58 The whole situation was odd. I actually got a little upset when it was pretty clear to me with enough clues from the author that she was pregnant and she drank alcohol! That irritated me. While Cynthia kept “forgetting” she could be pregnant, I didn’t due to the constant references to it in the book. I didn’t like it at all.

I felt the whole pregnancy part of the book was ridiculous. There were too many inconsistencies, and the whole situation didn't add anything to the book. The book would've been better without that part of the storyline.

Yes, the whole thing was odd, from Cynthia having sex with a virtual stranger to everything that followed. The author warned about the section with an 'R' rating. I wonder why the author felt compelled to put any sex in the book?dtb wrote: ↑04 Jun 2019, 12:21Yeah, it is unlikely one would forget a thing like being pregnant.cpru68 wrote: ↑03 Jun 2019, 01:58 The whole situation was odd.
