My Absolute Darling

Sometimes less is more and there lies the main problem with this book, could easily have been 100 pages shorter. So much of it is ridiculous and I refuse to believe that out of all the people who suspected something was “going on”, not one of them intervened or made that call, and all because they live in free thinking part of North California. In the end it feels like a mash up of Swallows and Amazons and Serbian Film. If you are thinking of reading this do your research first. Read the one star reviews because the majority of those are spot on.

If you want shock and awe read Hal Ketchum's The Girl Next Door.
If you want uplifting cuddles read Emma Donoghue's Room.

The above books do everything this books tries to do but much much better.
