I actually did like it. No cliffhanger endings and justice was serve. Couldn't put it down.

I thought that I wasn’t going to like this book. I’m not sure why it just felt cheesy. It was actually really enjoyable and well written! I did predict a couple of things but not too early in the book. I don’t mind that. I also enjoyed the characters even the despicable ones! Great ending too. That’s hard to find .

Love, Mom by Iliana Xander is described as a fast paced psychological thriller that unfortunately doesn’t quite live up to the hype. While the novel is written in a clear, first-person style—which is a style I enjoy—it ultimately lacks the pace and tension expected from a thriller, and failed evoke and emotional attachment to any of the characters. The story is underwhelming, the twists are both far-fetched and oddly predictable. What could have been an emotionally gripping or suspenseful experience instead lands firmly in forgettable territory. There’s nothing particularly wrong with the writing itself, but it doesn’t generate much excitement or surprise. In the end, Love, Mom is just okay. It may appeal to readers looking for a light psychological drama, but those seeking true thrills or depth might be left disappointed.

This is probably my favorite book I’ve ever read! I love the twists and turns and if you like Frieda McFadden, you’ll love this

This was really good. Psych thriller that twisted the plot as soon as you thought you had figured it out. I can see why Booktok has been blowing up over this one. 8/10
