I finished reading The Second Child a couple of months ago but still find myself drawn back to the characters and the story occasionally.
Sarah and Phil have a disabled fourteen year old child, however a routine blood test shows that the child does not belong to them. An investigation brings to life their biological child and the story that unfolds is intriguing.
This is a heartbreaking story for everyone involved, but with an underlying theme of undying love for your child.
The characterisation is great, I love books where the point of view changes with each chapter because you really get a feel for each character and can specifically see things from their point of view.
An easy to read book with nice length chapters. There was a great twist which I wasn't expecting. Without ruining the book, you do feel sorry for the one character that you shouldn't.
