Playdate by Alex Dahl
5.0

Wow! I haven’t been able to put this book down! I think this is everyone’s nightmare- a missing child. This situation even worse when you think it’s an innocent sleepover.

However, I’m not sure I’d let a child sleep over if I didn’t know the parent better. That places a lot of trust in another person. With that said, I know how excited little ones get over play dates and sleepovers, often you don’t want to upset them.

I do like the author’s writing style, I have been pulled into this one and able to lose myself in the pages quite quickly. The ending was completely unpredictable, which made this book even better for me.

I have had a clear and vivid image in my head, the whole time of reading this one. This has made this a more enjoyable read because I felt as though I was watching the scenes play out.

I have thought about this one, long after finishing the book. The plot aroused feelings of unease, discomfort and tension. I would absolutely read more by this author, this book has definitely been a read which I’m glad I came across.

I also like that we’ve had differing points of view. As a reader you’ve really had a feel for the different characters. For me, based purely on the fact of Eliza allowing her daughter to go off with a stranger this is a four star read. I think that factor has made me want to shake her and shout “what are you doing?”.
