This was a highly emotive and highly engaging novel about family secrets and trust. When one boy is dead his friend is put in an awful position. Lots of twists and turns. Really enjoyed it.

This book definitely puts you in a predicament of not only with who to trust but the fact it is your son that you're questioning. I got into this book really quickly as i just had to know the truth.

As a teenage boy's mother, I found ‘My Darling Boy’ to be highly realistic and relatable. The story revolves around two mothers, and I empathised with them both. I enjoyed how the author portrayed both women's anguish, making them equally likeable.

The plot was fast-paced, and I was engrossed from the first page. I couldn't put the book down and finished it within two days. The storyline flowed well, and I thought the different points of view of the women added depth to the story.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller. It perfectly balanced suspense, drama, and plot twists, keeping me hooked until the end. I can’t wait to read more from this author!
