The Day She Came Back is the newest release from one of my top-five favorite authors, Amanda Prowse.

The Day She Came Back by Amanda Prowse was the first book by this author that I found a little disappointing. It just didn't feel fully fleshed out for me, as all of her other novels have been. I feel that this would have been better classified as a YA novel, as it dealt primarily with Victoria, and 18 year old and her relationship with her grandmother who raised her and her mother, who she was brought up to believe died of a drug overdose, but appears at her grandmother's funeral. Victoria does...

One day, Prim died. Victoria’s life shattered. After the funeral, a woman approached her to speak a few words – I AM YOUR MUM!The blurb itself evoked so many though...

What happens when the person you loved most in the world betrays you with life long lies and deception?

Thanks Net Galley for giving me the opportunity to read and giv my honest review of this bookThis book takes place in England, which may explain why I had such a hard time in getting into it.Victoria is left an orphan to be raised by her 84 year old grandmother, which is a hoot in herself. Wow, to eat fruit stem and all cracked me up.
