ARC received from Harper Collins for an honest review

What a delight is The Unusual Abduction of Avery Conifer.

When I looked at the cover I thought it was going to be quite a light and humourous tale of grannies on the run.

And whilst yes, we did get that, we got so much more.

This story deals with abusive relationships, strained family dynamics, and those who come together to save those they love.

Shirley and Beth are so completely different, and even with the years of dislike and discontent with each other, they really were the perfect partners for this Thelma and Louise-esque adventure.

Add in a beautiful 4 year old girl and a great grandmother that reminded me of Yetta from The Nanny, this is one road trip that you won't quickly forget.

I did feel that there were a couple of POVs that we really didn't need, though this could just be a me thing.

Ms Evans has given a beautifully written story, with wonderfully nuanced relationships, and a different take on what we would call motherly love.

The Unusual Abduction of Avery Conifer is my first Ilsa Evans read, however I will definitely read more in the future.
