Thank you netgalley for this early read.

The love a mother has for her child is so deep and pure. What would you do to protect your child even before they are born? What if carrying and delivering the child risks your life? Nick and Paige are expecting a baby and Paige has health complications during the third trimester. How will Nick and Paige deal with this situation? This book is very hard to review without giving away the story. I will just say that the situation Nick and Paige found themselves in and the decisions they had to make are agonizing. The decisions that are made have far reaching consequences and affect every relationship that Paige has. A very emotional, but interesting topic and I couldn't wait to see what happens at the end. I would highly recommend this moving book.

Let me start by saying that I usually don’t read this sort of book. I am a big softie and books like this always render me an emotional wreck. That said I was thrilled when I was sent this as an ARC to review.

My Life For Yours is the story of Paige and Nick. When Paige is nearing the end of her pregnancy she suffers heart failure, she barely makes it out alive and baby Max is born asleep. Paige is subsequently diagnosed with a heart condition and warned that until her condition is under control she should not become pregnant again. However, fate intervenes and she becomes pregnant again.
My Life For Yours is the emotionally brilliant, heartbreaking story of love, loss and an impossible choice that no one should ever have to make.

I am a Mum, I have a son, and because of that this book hit me where it hurts. I couldn’t help but put myself in Paige’s shoes, both when they lost Max and when they conceived again. No one should ever have to decided between a chance at another baby and becoming a family, another baby but leaving your husband as a lone parent or leaving your husband without a wife or a baby.
That is the devastating position Paige and Nick are in and it wouldn’t be a spoiler to say they don’t agree on the decision, adding to an already heartbreaking story.
Needless to say this is a highly emotive subject which Vanessa Carnevale approaches with a perfect balance of emotion and hope.
This is certainly a story that will stay with me for a long time.

Thank you to NetGalley for gifting me this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I chose this book because the description stood out. Having lost a baby myself this touched my heart. Fantastic read, truly beautiful.

This is a stunningly beautiful novel, dealing with a really difficult subject with grace. I loved it from the first page and was grilled throughout.

Oh wow what a rollercoaster. So emotional in places every page you were hoping that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Every new character that came into the book you really got involved in their life. Brilliant book
