Cross Her Heart

Book: Cross Her Heart

Author: Sarah Pinborough

Lisa lives for her daughter Ava, her job, and her best friend Marilyn, but when a handsome client shows an interest in her, Lisa starts daydreaming about sharing her life with him too. Maybe she’s ready now. Maybe she can trust again. Maybe it's time to let her terrifying secret past go. Then her daughter rescues a boy from drowning and their pictures are all over the news for everyone to see. Lisa's world explodes, and she finds everything she has built threatened. Not knowing whom she can trust, it's up to her to face her past to save what she holds dear.-Goodreads

Review: Lisa is an overprotective mother whose quiet life is upended when her teenage daughter’s picture is published in a local paper. This started off decent but the plotline became so ridiculous, including the motivations for the ‘evil character’ I just could not stop rolling my eyes while reading it.

Grade: 1/5
