Every parent dreads getting that late night phone call. When Abi gets a call late at night, telling her that her daughter Olivia was in an accident, her life comes to an abrupt standstill. Abi learns her teenage daughter is not only brain dead but pregnant.
Abi begins to suspect that Olivia's accident is no accident. She starts her own investigation which leads her to come to terms with her own past.
I loved this book. It was very engrossing and I had trouble putting it down. It has many twists and turns, leading you to an unexpected ending. I highly recommend this book.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the advanced copy of the book.

You will cry.
This is a page turner, I truly couldn’t put it down. A compelling and heartbreaking thriller.

Could NOT put this book down. Grabbed me from the very first page & just had to keep reading. Can’t wait to read more from this author.
A good read. I enjoyed the way the story was told from the perspective of both Olivia and her mother. However I so wish authors would get away from the formula of telling stories from multiple narrator’s and bouncing back-and-forth in time. The story unfolded slowly with many minor twists and turns that kept you guessing. Not fine literature but a good read.
After reading the first page of The Night Olivia Fell, I was instantly hooked. Told between alternating perspectives from the past and the present, this story tells the tale of a tragic accident and a mother's journey towards finding the truth.

My Review:
I received this book in my Once Upon a Book Club Box. It was a great and intelligent read. I love the plot and the all the leads available to solve the murder. I also enjoyed opening my Once Upon a Book Club gifts while reading the book. This month, the gifts were well chosen for the this book and made my reading experience such a treat.
If you are looking for a solid mystery/thriller, The Night Olivia Fell by Christina McDonald is your book.

The Night Olivia Fell was a new plot for me. I liked the idea of it, but I felt like I guessed the ending about halfway through, unfortunately. I think this book is suited better for younger readers, because it does have an interesting message and makes you think about how kids are raised and how blind parents can be sometimes. I wish that it would have had a big plot twist that would have knocked me off my seat. Overall, a good story.
