Easily readable, the story was ok up until the surprise ending which was a bit too unbelievable for me, even as it does redeem the idea that Laurel was cheating on Jack. However, I rated it down because using rape as a plot device is lazy, and again, the biological father being who he is, was a stretch, that they kept in touch and knew who he was. As others have said this is a story about many kinds of forgiveness, but all the different issues (Jack/Laurel and the baby, Malcolm and Rain, Malcolm and Nathan, Uncle Joe, Matthew and his wife Monica, the priest, etc.) just happily working themselves out in the end was too neat, and not explained well throughout the book. Ugh, definitely the Hallmark Hall of Fame story here.
