I'm not sure what I expected when I requested a copy of this, but I don't think I expected a full-on stalker situation.

It's very hard for me to write a review of this without filling it with spoilers, so I'll just say that nothing, NOTHING is worth blowing up your entire life. It's just not.

This is an interesting book that begins with a lie that impacts every other portion of Brooke's life. Do I think Brooke was amazingly immature? Yes. Do I think the lie might have magnified some of her other issues? Yes. Does that excuse the way this book hit the crazy train and never got off? Mmmm, that would be a no.

Read it - but hang on to your sense of reality.

I appreciate Netgalley, the publisher and the author allowing me an ARC of Seeking Sarah. I've had a run of disappointments from Netgalley recently and I think I'm taking a break...

Fast paced, emotional family drama. Interesting character and plot. I will definitely recommend this one as a great summer read.

I finished Seeking Sarah in hours. The cover drew me in but the storyline kept my fingers swiping through the pages. Brooke was a complicated and flawed heroine. I understood her actions even though I didn't agree with almost all of them. I found myself asking many times, would Brooke realize a person can't conquer deception with deception? She was bent on revenge but the thing with revenge is that it comes with consequences. Will Brooke realize that in time? You will discover the answer as you read.
Even when I got to the end, I continued to ask myself: How could a mother abandon her child? SMH. Can Sarah ever fully explain that? Seeking Sarah shows how important a parent's love is and how a parent can shape a child's life and future actions. It is not a light responsibility.
My favorite lines:
"A woman's gut doesn't lie."
"Well, I guess if there's a roadblock to your path to happiness, you have to stop and move it out of the way."
Thank you Netgalley for this read. 4.5 stars

I received this arc from Netgalley for an honest review.
I found this book to be infuriating. Brooke has been told since she was a child that her mother died in a car accident. When her father dies, she discovers the truth, that actually her mother left. In addition to that, her boyfriend has decided without her to re-enlist without speaking to her about it. Brooke is lost, her father is gone, her soon to be husband might be gone soon and her mother is alive. Brooke drops everything and goes looking for her mother. Instead of confronting her when she sees her, Brooke turns her mother's life upside down and in the end, there is a death because of it. Brooke single handily ruins several lives including her own and at the same time, her best friend steals her man. It was just too much and I was so angry at so many of the characters, I felt like I had been cheated.
