Synopsis (via Goodreads): Can you love someone to death?
Some would say Becky Gerard is a devoted mother and would do anything for her only child. Others claim she's obsessed and can't stop the vicious circle of finding a cure at her daughter's expense.
Fifteen-year-old Meghan has been in and out of hospitals with a plague of unexplained illnesses. But when the ailments take a sharp turn, doctors intervene and immediately suspect Munchausen syndrome by proxy, a rare behavioral disorder where the primary caretaker, typically the mother, seeks medical help for made-up symptoms of a child. Is this what's going on? Or is there something even more sinister at hand?
I will be using Rafflecopter for this giveaway, and the first winner selected will be given a choice between the two prizes. Once that has been confirmed (see rules and details below), a second winner will be selected (again via Rafflecopter), and will be given the remaining prize! This giveaway is open internationally!
Rules:
This giveaway officially starts on April 19th and will end on May 3rd. The winner will be announced on May 4th (Star Wars Day!) on this post within the Rafflecopter form, and also notified via email. The winner will have 48 hours to respond or I will have Rafflecopter select another winner (read my full giveaway policy here). Good luck!
I do love audio so :D
ReplyDeleteI will still be home with my toddler this summer so we will try to make the best summer out of it! Since I will start working in Aug and she will start daycare
My son starts school this year, so I know how you feel. It's bittersweet! I love that he's growing up and becoming his own person, but I miss my baby. I'm used to seeing him all day, so it'll be a hard adjustment for me. I plan on making this summer awesome! <3
DeleteNo summer plans, really, but hopefully going on vacation towards the end!
ReplyDeleteA vacation sounds lovely! Although, they're actually a lot of work, haha. We're trying to make a trip to the beach before it gets too hot here. :)
DeleteThis book sounds super intriguing! I'd love to win a copy. Thanks for the giveaway :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be going to NYC for the first time this summer. My daughter will be receiving an award at Carnegie Hall. I'm so proud of her and so excited to finally go to NYC!
That's super exciting! I hope you have a blast in New York! I've spent a few weeks there while attending BEA (way back in 2011 and 2012), and really enjoyed myself. There's a lot to do, see, eat... haha. One of my fondest memories is of Shakespeare in the Park. If you have an opportunity to go, I highly recommend it! Also, the museums are awesome. :)
DeleteNo real summer plans but I'm sure my daughter and grandson will be coming over for visits since he'll be out of school.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you're really looking forward to those! Has your apartment complex added those security cameras yet? The last time I was on your blog, you mentioned several stolen cars. :(
DeleteMunchausen (or Muchausen by proxy) is so fascinating. I first came across it in a book I read back in the 80’s and was equal parts shocked/fascinated. Sounds like a good one.
ReplyDeleteIt's a crazy concept to wrap your head around! People's actions can be so surprising, especially when they don't realize they're making their own problems. It's bananas.
DeleteAs for this book, it was an okay read for me. My review for it will post later this month. I'm still hosting a giveaway, because I do think it's a story people will enjoy, but the characters were too unlikable for me. No one to root for! The story itself had an interesting mystery. Maybe this one will work for you! <3
I have this one on my wish list. It sounds fantastic!

Good luck! I hope you enjoy this one whenever you have a chance to read it. Maybe you'll win one of these and can get to it sooner rather than later, haha. :)
DeleteI'm currently reading Gayle Leeson's The Calamity Cafe. All the food mentions are making me hungry.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Books with food ALWAYS make me hungry! Love à la Mode being one of them. It helps to keep snacks close by -- just in case! :)
DeleteI'm planning on spending some time with my family this summer. We'll hopefully be going on a vacation at the end of it!
ReplyDeleteNice! Spending time with family is always a good way to spend the summer. I hope you're vacation is awesome and relaxing!
