Dear Child: A NovelDear Child: A Novel by Romy Hausmann

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book was was phenomenal! I couldn't read it fast enough or put it down and read it in one sitting. I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing about it, which is how I would recommended others do when considering reading this book. This story is heavy, intense, and remarkable. This book ran me through a wide range of emotions - crying, disgust, anger and finally admiration. I felt personally invested in the characters lives and felt the tightness of their anxieties. That alone says to me that it's a great book.

Romy Hausmann is a rare talent in a world filled with mediocre authors and their books, especially thrillers. The story is a true gem and one that will stay with me. The book is not so much about whether you can predict how it will end: It’s all about seeing the world from an angle we can’t even begin to comprehend. This, in itself, is a gift...All. The. Stars!

☆☆☆ ☆ ☆ .PDF, 368 pages Expected Publication: 01 Mar 2022 By: Pan Macmillan, Mantle About The Book: You think you know the person you promised to spend the rest of your life with - but what if they've lied about everything? Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby. Of course she does. But she's not been honest with either of them. In fact, pretty much everything she's ever told them about herself is a lie. Leo might never have known, except that he writes obituaries for a living, and it's standard practice to have a draft on file, just in case. After Emma, a one time TV presenter, recovers from a serious illness, he starts to research her life and discovers the facts don't quite add up. As he digs deeper, Leo realizes he can't believe anything Emma says. Even her name is fictitious. But what is she hiding - and why? And does that mean she lied about loving him too? My Review: I enjoyed and loved this book so much. Part love story, part mystery,

Must Love Books by Shauna Robinson

My rating: 3.5 Stars A book about books and a girl who loves books? Yes please! Who could not love a premise like this? I loved the realistic characters and I felt for Nora, she captured my heart. I was really cheering a romance on for her but alas, it was not meant to be I guess. I appreciated that the author handled the mental health issues with sensitivity and care, who of us has not need to dig deep and make a hard decision based on what is best for us. It was very brave of the author to put working for a publishing house in a bad light and we all know this is fiction! Even though the book started off a bit slow for me it was a great way to spend a cozy Sunday afternoon and I found it very entertaining. With many thanks to NetGalley, Shauna Robinson and Sourcebooks Landmark for the giving of the ARC. View all my reviews
