About this listen

A fast-paced psychological thriller with several twists

A best-selling author. A mother. A murderer…

Mackenzie Casper is a brilliant student. But she is best known for her mother, a best-selling author whose dark, twisted thrillers have a dedicated worldwide fanbase.

When her mother dies in an accident, fans across the world are left grieving, and the investigators are asking: Was that really an accident?

The day of the memorial service, Mackenzie gets the first mysterious envelope, signed,
From #1 fan. XOXO.

Inside are the pages of her mother’s diary that start with the lines:
Want to know a secret?
Love, Mom.

What Mackenzie reads leaves her in shock.
Then comes the second letter.
And the third...

Mackenzie starts her own investigation and stumbles upon secrets that her family has lived with for years.
Quickly, she realizes that her mother's path to stardom was etched with sinister lies that might have caught up with her.

Sometimes fame is worth a murder. Or worse.
Soon, Mackenzie will come to find out that there are worse things than murder…

Everyone was raving about this one in my fb group so had to read it, started off slow, good twist in the middle but then the end was quite lacklustre and predictable. I had guessed some of the connections and the very end seemed just unrealistic, that a certain character would go to so much effort to ruin someone in such a dripfeed way, didn't match the character.
A good read overall but I wasn't blown away like the reviews!

I really liked how Love, Mom kept me guessing right to the end. The letters from her mum added a mysterious touch that made me want to keep reading to find out the truth. I also liked how the story showed the complicated bond between a mother and daughter — how love can be mixed with secrets, pain, and forgiveness. The short chapters and twists made it easy to stay hooked, and I enjoyed how every clue slowly revealed more about who her mother really was.

That was absolutely fantastic. oh my god. I read that in one sitting and the absolute roller coaster I went on, i’m so emotional right now. There wasn’t a single twist that I saw coming, believe me I tried, I tried to figure out and guess every single mystery and my jaw dropped with every single reveal. I’m going to think about this book for a very long time
