Surrogacy story
The Life Gift is the second installment in the Last Heartbeat YA/NA clean romance series. Book one was Alexia and Philip's story. This book picks up where the last one finished, but this time it is Kirsten's story. It is told all from Kirsten's perspective and covers a five year period.
The life gift continues raising awareness of the ongoing issues that organ transplant recipients face and also raises awareness of miscarriage and surrogacy. Themes such as marriage, divorce and good communication are explored as well.
I was a little frustrated with Kirsten for being so surprised to fall pregnant when she wasn't planning to. If you don't think you are ready to be a mother, then use contraception! "Practicing" to get pregnant without contraception generally will get you pregnant. Even though she was very well spoken (always said I am rather than I'm) she still came across as quite immature. But then I have 20 years more life experience than her, so I guess i was probably the same at her age!
If you're looking for a quick read full of sweet perfect characters and a happily ever after then this is your book. It would be best to read The Last Heatbeat first, but you could read this as a stand alone as it gives enough of the background information to understand what is going on.
I listened to the audiobook edition which I received free in exchange for an honest review. The narrator spoke clearly and at a good pace.
