Not my favorite by Joe Hill, who I usually greatly enjoy. Harper's pregnancy was a weird choice and some of the children's dialogue is hysterical -- for how non-childish it is. She's talking to her 3-year-old nephew and he's speaking in complex, complete sentences. Ali is by far the most nuanced character and I found myself wishing the story was being told from her perspective, rather than a chronically obliging (to the point of stupidity on several occasions), chipper middle-aged pregnant nurse. A lot of Hill's greatest attributes are present -- including his sense of humor! It just isn't the best of his work.
