Publisher's Summary

AU TEST

In the struggle between warring parents, who will protect the child?

Garry Hartshorn and Softie Monaghan were never love's young dream. Not even on their wedding day.

Softie was sophisticated, a career woman, who owned a nice apartment overlooking St Kilda Beach. Garry had a few rough edges, plus one failed marriage and an assortment of jobs under his belt. But Softie's body clock was ticking, and Garry wanted children....

So they got married and produced the only thing they ever had in common: Matilda.

Now, two years later, their golden-haired child is at the centre of a bitter divorce and custody battle. Both parents insist that her well-being is the only thing they care about. Yet, in truth, Matilda was always the one most likely to become lost.

the first book by Caroline Overington I loved

I've read two other books by Caroline Overington and found them to be ok (not amazing). This book ,however, I really loved. The plot really captivated me in from beginning to end. I liked all the characters and found them all to be quite realistic and relatable. Although there is some disturbing subject matter presented in this book, it is addressed in a manner that makes it bareable to read about. Additonally, the narrator used for this performance was excellent!

Slow moving but interesting

The book was good but felt like there was a lot of dialog before much really happened. If you’re looking for a fast paced book this isn’t it. The story was overall interesting and the surprise turn of events at the end wasn’t what I thought. The narrator is great though!

A good book

I was a little surprised by how much I enjoyed this simple book. It had a little innocence to it and the narrator kept me engaged the entire time.

Started Interesting…

The book started interesting, but there were no exciting parts and nothing really made me want to keep listening. I was disappointed overall.
