The characters were so interesting and appealing, the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat and the emotions it stirred up are still lingering.
I loved the complex stories and the connection between the different POVS. The whodunnit was always there, but it wasn’t what impressed me most. It was just part of a brilliant thriller. I loved every page and didn’t want it to end. Will probably have a serious book-hangover after this!...more
I can’t remember the last time I was so emotionally invested in a story. It pulled all my heartstrings and I felt raw and exposed after each chapter. I can’t remember the last time I was so emotionally invested in a story. It pulled all my heartstrings and I felt raw and exposed after each chapter. Loving a child means sacrificing everything, and Grant’s book described how that feels so beautifully. The choices Cooper had to make were heartbreaking, but understandable. How unlucky is it possible to be and still manage to soldier on?
The ending was unlike anything. I felt overwhelmed and also sad that there weren’t any pages left....more

The cases fit perfectly and made it an engaging read, and made the concepts even easier to grasp. Can’t recommend this book enough....more

Eg starta på denne boka tre ganger og hadde gitt opp fordi eg var litt skuffa. Den var så bisarr og ulik andre bøker fra forfatteren. Men så sa en venEg starta på denne boka tre ganger og hadde gitt opp fordi eg var litt skuffa. Den var så bisarr og ulik andre bøker fra forfatteren. Men så sa en venn til meg: Ikkje gi opp. Så tredje gangen fullførte eg boka, og er veldig glad for det. Karakterene i boka vokste og blei mennesker, ikkje berre tullinger som var irriterende og dumme. Forfatteren klarer det kunstverket å vise at når vi blir kjent med et menneske si historie, så liker vi dei. Empatien og sympatien vokser, og på slutten av boka sit du med en varm kjensle av at verda tross alt er en god plass å vere. ...more

I read so many psychological thrillers where I end up being disappointed, because I don’t ‘buy’ the plot. Some are simply too unrealistic and far-fetched. But I never thought that while reading dear child. The characters were well-crafted with the complexities of human beings perfectly captured.
It was an intense and thrilling read, and I was also surprised at the ending, a major plus....more

The author did stop time, grabbing my attention, making me forget everything else. So many beautiful sentences and quotes, so many thought-provoking ideas. The story was also unlike anything I’ve read lately. It was so fun to walk in the shoes of somebody who’s been alive for a long time. I highly recommend this book....more

It feels like they’ve been torn off my body, hurting. Working with trauma, this book portrayed realistically how horrible life can be. The main character’s pain became your own, as did the people who really tried to reach out, to no avail. I recommend the book to everyone I meet, and will never forget it.....more
