New Release+Review: Little Big Love by Katy Regan

Shelly's Book Corner received a review copy from Berkley and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.

Ten-year-old Zac Hutchinson collects facts: octopuses have three hearts, Usain Bolt is the fastest man on earth. But no one will tell him the one thing he wants to know most: who his father is and where he went.

When Zac's mother, Juliet, inadvertently admits that his dad is the only man she's ever loved, Zac decides he is going to find him and deliver his mom the happily ever after she deserves.

But Liam Jones left for a reason, and as Zac searches for clues of his father, Juliet begins to rebuild what shattered on the day that was at once the happiest and most heartbreaking of her life.

Told through the eyes of Zac, Juliet, and grandfather Mick, Little Big Love is a layered, heartfelt, utterly satisfying story about family, love, and the secrets that can define who we are.

Review:

Zac is a ten year old who is on a mission to find his father but nothing is as it seems. There were so many lies that had been uncovered and it really blew me away while reading. This was my first time reading this author and I enjoyed this book very much! It was written in three points of view and you could tell who was who which I sometimes have an issue while reading. So the fact that all the characters didn’t sound the same was a plus in my book.  I would have liked a point of view from Liam’s perspective. He went ten years years with no contact when it came to his son and I would have liked to be inside his head during this time. The author also touched on addictions and how they can interfere with your families dynamic. As a daughter of an alcoholic this story touched close to home. It also mentioned other addictions and issues as well that people don’t seriously and I could once again relate on so many level. In closing this was a very well written heartwarming and heartfelt story about love and forgiveness. I will definitely be checking out more books from this author and one of my favorite reads of 2018!
