Daisy in Chains by Sharon Bolton

3.0

3 ½ stars

Some books don’t always need to be 5 stars to be fun

I really enjoyed the angle this book took on a very overused theme. You know the hordes of books out there that deal with hard-ass police, wrongfully convicted criminals and ruthless lawyers.

The author also took the very sensitive issue of obesity, fat shaming and society’s body and sizes obsession and made it an integral part of the storyline. Even more interesting was the exploration of the psychology behind women who meet and marry convicts or groupies who write to complete strangers getting a kick out of talking to a convicted murderer/rapist.

There are a few twists that I did not expect and I think this will make a great beach read as it’s a page turner that’s not too taxing on the grey matter.
