Not My Daughter
by Suzy K. Quinn
Wow this one got me flipping pages so fast!!
Lorna had a bucket list when she was 16, she'd made this because she had been diagnosed with a terminal cancer which she managed to beat, so she was living her life to the fullest.
As is a lot of young teenage girls dreams, one of the items on her bucket list, was to meet & marry a rock star, not just any rock star though, it had to be Michael Reyji Ray.
So to be able to go to one of his concerts and to actually meet him, and to actually have him *choose* her and fall in love with her, well it was like a dream come true, except, it really wasn't.
Fast forward 16 years and Lorna is a scared mother of Liberty, she doesn't allow her to go out at night, or go out with friends, and she is fiercely protective over her, to the utter disgust of her daughter, who thinks she is just an ridiculously over protective mother.
But Lorna has high fences and is over protective for a reason, a reason Liberty is not aware of, and thank goodness Liberty doesn't know who her father is, otherwise everything she knows could change.
Except Liberty does find out, and she wants to meet her famous father and find out what he is really like, as her crazy mother has only told her bad things about what a monster he is, and she wants to find out for herself!
Told from the POV of Lorna and Liberty and with a sprinkling of the past from Lorna's POV, Suzy K Quinn takes you on a heart stopping journey.
Please be warned that this book deals with Domestic Abuse and has instances of sexual abuse, a LOT of Gaslighting and Manipulation.
It was very interesting to see how differently Michael acted in front of his friends and family, and then with Lorna and some others, the Red Flags were definitely waving, but unfortunately it is not always possible to see them while you think you are in love!
