Book Review: The Nursery

BOOK REVIEW - The Nursery by Sue Watson

Genre: Thriller

Format: Kindle

Publication date: October 20, 2022

Star rating: ️️️️️3

The Nursery by Sue Watson made me feel like I was right there in the story as Watson's writing is very descriptive. When she would walk home late at night I was there feeling the breeze as she did. Every time she opened the door and was hit with the feel of the ocean mist across the street I felt it!

In particular I liked the premise of the thriller. As a mom of a teen who was adopted I enjoy reading books with adoption themes. Watson's main character is confronted with many questions from her teen daughter that has just discovered the secret of who she is from a mysterious text message. The mom is terrified and mystery ensues.

I wanted the pages to be a bit more exciting than they were. The characters left me wanting to care more about them but I just didn't. I do have to say the end of the book is when things really start to happen and then everything is tied up fairly quickly. I was surprised with the outcome but not shocked.

Thank you to NetGalley for the gifted copy of the e-book!

From Amazon: A completely gripping, utterly twisted thriller that will leave your jaw on the floor. Perfect for fans of Gone Girl, The Wife Between Us and The Woman in the Window.
