Two Weeks
by Karen Kingsbury
5 stars
Karen Kingsbury is one of my favorite authors. I can always count on her to deliver a realistic story packed with emotion. Two Weeks is a continuation of the Baxter Family. The story focuses on Cole Blake, son of Ashley Baxter Blake, who is months away from going to college for a career in medicine. He meets a mysterious new girl, who captures his attention like no other girl before. The girl is Elise, sent to live with her aunt and uncle, set on changing her life and making better choices. Soon Elise discovers she is pregnant, the baby’s father being the bad boy she left to escape from. Cole is determined to support Elise, even if that means sacrificing college and marrying her. Karen does such a wonderful job letting the readers into the mind of Elise and the choices she is forced to make. I love that Karen also chose to have a point of view from a couple (Lucy and Aaron) struggling with infertility. Each chapter is heartbreaking from each Elise and Lucy’s point of view.
As Elise’s due date comes closer, she has two weeks to change her mind about adoption. Will she choose to keep the baby or will she choose adoption? I highly recommend this book and the rest of the Baxter series!
