Little Darlings

Product Information

I was eyeing this one but since I keep adding books to my TBR and not seeing the pile go down much I was trying to be more picky about requesting books for review. Instead, after following Harper into the beginning of a seemingly-unrelated case, we learn a very different truth about what has happened, a truth not hinted at in the premise and tangentially mentioned only once in the story. Lauren keeps the otherworldly details about the mysterious woman and her babies-that-are-not-quite-babies to herself. So receiving this book for Christmas I had low expectations for Little Darlings, but it managed to surprise me and grab me.

Destiny's striking resemblance to Danny and her amazing singing voice convince Danny, Rose-May, and Debs she's Danny's daughter, and they decide they can use it as a publicity stunt to distract from the recent bad press Danny's been getting for running off with Lizzie "Big Mouth. Sunset lives a life of luxury with her beautiful ex-model mum, her world-famous ex-rocker dad and two little celeb siblings.This book combines reality with fable, and as I read further, the fable became more solid, more likely, than the actual reality. Sunset, Sweetie and Ace all hate her but Suzy even more so as she is very protective of Danny and despises Lizzie very much. Her first novel, Little Darlings, which has been optioned for screen by Free Range Films, became an e-book bestseller and won the DragonCon award for Best Horror Novel 2019. She's overwhelmed, experiencing postpartum depression and if that wasn't enough, one of the nights while she's still at the hospital, a young woman with twins wants to exchange/take her babies.

The eventual climax is a heartbreaking ordeal which no mother wishes to experience and just when we think it’s over, Melanie Golding hits us with another twist and the story goes in a different direction. In 2002 Jacqueline was awarded the OBE for services to literacy in schools and from 2005 to 2007 she was the Children’s Laureate. Jack Myers – A close friend of Destiny, who was described as "Destiny's boyfriend" by Jack's elder brother. The book is about Destiny Williams whose mother, who is ill, tells her a rock star named Danny is her biological father.It is very true to life, and you can tell this is what Jaqueline Wilson sets out to do in her books. When Destiny and her mum attend Danny’s film premiere, Destiny’s secret painfully unfolds – and the step-sisters tentatively discover a genuine friendship. A stunning debut and a uniquely creepy premise’ Annie Ward, author of Beautiful Bad You may also be interested in. Suzy can sometimes be ever so slightly violent towards her daughter, and has forbidden her from eating sweet foods, saying that she is too big. But the biggest disappointment arrives in the final few chapters, as the solution to the mystery is finally revealed.
