My Review:
Lou's mind stars: ✭✭
A Mother's Confession is a book difficult to review. Firstly, because of the subject it is treating. It is something we hear about all the times in the news and it is written carefully, so on point that it is upsetting. Secondly, this is the combine story of two women, so alike but so different too.
I cannot talk too much about this story without revealing the whole thing so I will just say that I felt for Olivia a lot. What she went through is unimaginable but at last, when pushed into a corner, she got the courage to leave but at which cost... Then, there is Ivy and while I sort of felt bad for her at first, I grew to dislike and even hate her throughout the whole book. She is a despicable woman and sadly, a lot of mothers are like this in such case. But your children are not always the so-called golden boy (or girl).
This book made me quite upset thus the low rating, but I am confident it will find its audience.
