Do not see an Ask the Author - Loved the book, but curious what "radical suggestion" her editors made to the book that Lisa Jewell mentions in her acknowledgements?

I loved this book and listened to the wonderful audio edition. While I was thrilled for Poppy's existence..... it truly is not that easy to get someone pregnant with sperm "bought on line" Seriously. So many women go through infertility treatments to think a woman can order this, prepare it, and get another probably unwilling participant to absorb this sperm and become pregnant.... ummm , did I miss something?

Shannon Brake It would have made much more sense if Ellie were already pregnant by Theo when she came into the house.

Not just the window, but try to dismantle the locks or lay in wait for Noelle and hit her with something. It was one 45 year-old woman vs. a teenager. I think a teenager could take her, especially since the only violence she ever used was slaps across the face, it's not like Noelle always had a gun on her or something. Especially as she realized Noelle wasn't coming back -- you'd think the survival part of her brain would've tried harder. (less)
