A review by dkhunt
Heart Like Mine by Amy Hatvany

4.0

While the plot itself seems familiar or even formulaic - a mother with a hidden, tortured past, her daughter struggling with her unexpected death, and the potential new stepmother thrust into a parenting role she never expected - the characters are wonderful drawn - flawed, insecure and very human. Interactions between the main voices in the book (the story is told from the perspectives of three women), motivations, fights and apologies feel honest and consistent, allowing us to forgive their mistakes and champion their success.
