My Review:
This book had me flipping the pages so fast. Even though I figured out where this was going pretty quickly I enjoyed the beginning of this book SO much. The writing was captivating I could not put this book down and I even managed to read it in one sitting. The topics discussed are very timely and interesting, the author handled a lot of tough subjects with sensitivity.
BUT...I did find the ending parts of the book a REALLY hard to believe, especially since the daughter in question is sixteen years old. But is was so readable in the first half I am willing to give it an average rating. My other complaint...SPOILER...don't name your book "Not My Daughter" when it is supposed to be part of the surprising plot line.
