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.

Matilda is Missing

I took a while getting into this audiobook, but once I got into it, I was hooked. What an ending, totally unexpected. A lovely story, with many truths in it.

Loved It

I am a big fan of this author, some books of course are better than others. My favorite being “I came to say goodbye” this one is probably second. The narrator did a fabulous job, the storyline is so believable and depending on who you are, absolutely relatable.

What just happened?

There are 2 stories going on at the same time and the connection is not obvious. The main story is pretty straight forward but then the parallel story seems parallel but not connected. Then the ending just ends! No explanation or conclusion. I was left wanting a resolution to the secondary story which was much more compelling than the main story.
I love Overington's stories but I was disappointed with the conclusion of this one.

Good story overall, a little confusing at times

Very interesting, not what I expected. got a little confused about a l thr back and forth and some of the background that seemed somewhat unnecessary. There were unexpected twists eventually. Wish there had been more resolution in the end, although that isn't always how life works.

Dissatisfied

I hated the ending. There was no resolution to the main plot and the big why was not answered.
