This book promised to be _Room_ meets _Gone Girl_. The comparison to Gone Girl was definitely a reach, but I couldn't help from making constant comparisons to Room. Where it outshines Room is with its child narrator. The narrator in Room had a baby talking inner voice that irritates, while Hannah, the sometimes narrator of Dear Child converses at least like a stilted adult.
The book also promised twists and turns, many of which were either obvious from the outset, quickly explained by the next rotating narrator, or just didn't inspire feeling.
The book was a very quick read, but it felt like a waste of time that kept me from reading something of better merit. I wish I had passed.

The blurb for this book immediately caught my attention.
The book immediately grabbed my attention. It was fast paced and then lost a bit of momentum in the middle and then has a good ending with some twists thrown in. It was a good read and I was very eager to find out what would happen next. I enjoyed it.
If you're looking for a good psychological thriller then I would recommend this one.
Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review.

What a great thriller. Hard to put down. The characters are clear then become blurred then clear again... until the end.
One thing I wonder is why Hannah began by ending her sentences with "full stop" then that phrase just disappered. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not Full Stop.
