Has anyone read "Baby Dust"?

Has anyone out there read the book "Baby Dust" by Deanna Roy? It's a fictional novel about pregnancy loss...it looks pretty good, I'm just wondering what to expect from it.  I'm going to read some reviews on GoodReads, but I thought I would ask here too!

    I read it after my first loss.  Loved it.  I might read it again, now that you mention it.  I'd recommend it to anybody. 

    It basically follows 4 (or maybe 5?) women from a PL support group, and tells each of their stories from their perspective.  I thought it was very tastefully done.

    ETA, posted too soon.

    TTC since March 2010 ~ Dx Unexplained IF September 2011
    2011: IUI + Clomid = CP#1
    2012: 3 more IUIs + Clomid = 3 more CPs. One on-our-own pg, also CP
    2013: BTB IUI + Lupron/Follistim/Prometrium/PIO = CP #6
    IF testing, RPL testing, Autoimmune testing = all normal
    So lost.

    Thanks for the info *RedPhoenix*, I'm not sure I'm quite ready for an entire novel on PG loss, but hopefully someday soon I will be, glad to know it's a good read!

    It is definitely heartbreaking, and I cried.  A lot.  When I posted it on Goodreads, a friend of mine asked why I was "torturing myself".  Of course I understand her perspective, but for me, it was therapeutic, if painful and heartbreaking.  I can definitely see how some wouldn't want to read it.

    I read the sample first chapter and liked it. When I get the chance I plan to read it. 

    You can read the first several chapters here
