A review by nataliesboooks
Loverboy by Victoria Redel

3.0

This book is very well written, though quite disturbing. It was a bit hard to follow as it is told in mostly flashbacks with very little to explain when a flashback happens.

Basically it's about a woman who didn't get much love from her parents as a child and as a result she overcompensates and gives her son too much love (to the point where she doesn't want him to go to school because she is jealous of his relationship with his teacher and thinks that he will love his teacher more than her).

That ending! Omg! That mother is nuts, lol.

This was very gritty and has an extremely unreliable narrator, but it was very well done. Not normally the kind of book I would gravitate toward, but I enjoyed it.

I would say 3.5 stars.
