It’s my stop on the Books on Tour today for this absolutely emotional page-turner of a novel, *Save My Daughter by Sam Vickery. If you are looking for a great Summer read that will stretch your emotions and that you won’t be able to put down, then this is for you!
Book Description
As soon as we sat on the ride I knew something was wrong. I couldn’t relax. I couldn’t hear the theme park music, the giggles of my two other children. I’d left my baby in someone else’s care. And I knew I’d made a mistake…
With her two beautiful children and newborn baby Ella, Lily’s life is full of love and laughter. She gave up her job to be a stay-at-home mother, and though she sometimes envies the freedom of best friend Hannah, Lily wouldn’t trade it for anything.
But Lily’s world implodes when Hannah disappears with Ella one day, and Lily fears from the text message she receives that Hannah doesn’t intend to come back:
You don’t deserve her.
It’s true that Lily has been keeping secrets about her marriage from Hannah, ones she thought only she and her husband knew. Suddenly Lily realises that there are things she doesn’t know about Hannah too – and that by keeping her husband’s secrets, she might pay the ultimate sacrifice.
A rollercoaster ride of emotions, Save My Daughter will break your heart. Fans of Jodi Picoult, Kate Hewitt and Diane Chamberlain will be swept away by Sam Vickery’s utterly gorgeous novel.
My Thoughts
I was hooked from the start. Save My Daughter is very character-driven and told from two points of view. Lily and Hannah. Lily is an extremely busy mum of 3 and loves her children to bits. Hannah, Lily’s best friend since forever is not seeing the whole picture when it comes to family life and how Lily parents her children. This has severe consequences and causes mountains of pain, which could have been prevented if only they talked it out.
It’s a book full of action with severe consequences. You get secrets, a child abduction, a suspected affair and friendship woes, as well as emotional heartbreak. It’s a tangly mess that tore my heartstrings in places.
Highly recommended – 5 out of 5 stars
