A review by zasou_reads
The Daughter by Jane Shemilt

1.0

Well... that was disappointing. What's thrilling about this thriller? First of all, in the "One Year Later" parts nothing happens, they are just boring. There is no sense of guilt from Mom, no sense of urgency, and by these parts we know, when we're in the "Then" timeline, that nothing is resolved 1 year after Naomi's disappearance. Also, Jenny was painted as a not so good mother. The tag line of this novel is "How well do you know your family?", and Jenny doesn't seem to know shit about any of her kids. How clueless can you be? Or how little do you care? I didn't like this, skipped big chunks just trying to find interesting parts, and I sadly did not. And that ending? Was NOT worth it...
