“We could let our friends crash in the living room
This is our place, we make the call
And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you
I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all”

Bookreview - “The Secret Mother” by
•
I found this book randomly last summer in a Hungarian bookstore. The synopsis on the back of the book captivated me the second I read it. A strange boy showing up in a woman’s house one night asking if she’s his new mother? Who wouldn’t be interested in the full story?
The book is an easy, fluent read.
Now this is by no means a bad thing, in fact, for someone that has always loved to read and lost touch with it over the years by becoming busier with life, it’s great to be able to read a good story that swallows easy. The story itself, it’s twists and turns, it’s uniqueness does not suffer from the easy wording, in fact, it makes it that much more enjoyable. Because this book doesn’t require difficult wording to make it good. The story speaks for itself and you get lost in it from the very first word.
Having read thousand upon thousands (not really) books, I always find myself predicting the outcome of the story and I quickly recognise when something that happens in the story, happens to lay a foundation for the unfolding of it. It was no different with this book, yet, I was intrigued by what the outcome would be and enjoyed it just as much. It was also fun to be proven wrong about my predictions on the outcome at some points, making it a true discovery when the words were being read.
Having this been the first book I have ever read from Shalini Boland, it is definitely not the last one! I looked into it, and to my delight, she writes mostly psychological thrillers, which, is my favourite genre when it comes to books, movies, series...
So I definitely recommend this book to anyone that’s into stories like that!
Have you read this book yet? Or any other by this author?
