After reading some of the other reviews, I think it's important to remember that this book is a YA book. If that's generally not your thing...then you might not like it or it may seem "immature" to you. But it's not you that is the target audience.
With that being said, I think that this book fits right in with the young adult crowd. There are inferences of sex, drinking and drug use, but it wouldn't even be close to reality if that wasn't included, because let's face it...that's what kids (especially those that are almost 18) are doing these days!
As for the book itself, it almost read like a non-fiction book, which I actually appreciated! I really liked the fact that it was a unique story, with evolving characters, which all kept me interested from beginning to end.
I've never read anything by Kate McLaughlin before, but I am impressed with her writing. Sometimes, I have a tendency, to put off reading new authors because, let's get real, you have no way of knowing if it's actually going to be good or not, but I can tell you I was impressed and will seek out more books by this author!
Daughter was narrated by Justis Bolding, which was a first for me also, but she did a super impressive job! She seemed to fit Scarlet's character like a glove, which is always a beautiful thing!
Overall...I'm incredibly impressed with Daughter and look forward to reading more from Kate McLaughlin in the future!
I would like to thank Kate McLaughlin, RB Media, and Netgalley for providing me with a copy of Daughter which allowed me to contribute this honest and unbiased review!!
