It Takes Only One


It Takes Only One by MJ Hardin   130 pages

I’m not sure why I’m writing a review, other than I told MJ Hardin. I read her novel, It Takes Only One. It’s too esoteric for me. Thankfully, it’s a short work at 130 pages. However, I did like the author’s footnotes; they were interesting but didn’t offer insight to the story.

This abstruse story centers on a newborn baby. It has no gender, no name, no nationality. It seems that in the first chapter the baby has turned blue (hence the character’s identifier, Baby Blue) from not being able to breath. The parents are terrified. The baby then goes on some sort of journey through what may be heaven. I’m not sure.

There are 20 chapters, an introduction (which didn’t clarify things) and a Last Chapter that were all mercifully short.

It Takes Only One receives 1 out of 5 stars in Julie’s world.
