My Darling Daughter is a pacy and engaging read and tells its story in short, punchy chapters. It’s all too tempting to keep reading chapter after chapter, until you find yourself so close to the end and unable to leave (yourself or) the characters in limbo that you might as well stay up late to finish it. I always tear through JP Delaney’s books ( and on the off chance you’re reading this, JP, I’m sorry about that. I know how long it takes to write a book but you leave me little option but to do anything else!)

I hope that you enjoy your day to the fullest today. May your head be exalted and may you break frontiers. Love you darling daughter, happy 21st birthday.Dear daughter life is short. Spend it wisely by doing things that would put a smile on your face. Happy birthday sweetheart.”
