Book Review - The Two Week Wait by Sarah Rayner
After a health-scare, Brighton-based Lou is forced to confront the fact her time to have a baby is running out. She can’t imagine a future without children, but her partner, Sofia, doesn’t seem to feel the same way, and she’s not sure if she could go it alone. Meanwhile up in Yorkshire, Cath is longing to start a family with her husband, Rich. No one would be happier to have a child than Rich, but Cath is infertile. Little aware their fates are intimately linked, could these two strangers help one another out?
A story about hope, love, family and the joy and resilience of friendship, The Two Week Wait sees Cath and Lou battle prejudice and fear, question who they are as women and ultimately find their purpose in life.

I totally loved Sarah's book One moment One Morning, so much so I recommended it to all my friends and gave my copy to my daughter, I even wrote to Sarah and told her how much I loved it, which started a little correspondence.
So after waiting several weeks I got my hands on a copy of the TTWW, Soon as I started reading I knew I wasn't going to enjoy the book.
Once more Sarah has beautifully written this book with simple every day modern text and described some very painful and heart tearing situations, the problem for me was I knew the story because I have been through both sides of the story
Lou's Fertility treatment and Cath's cancer and miscarriage.
I read the book in a day and I do enjoy light books but I read to escape not to be reminded of my own past..
