All My Fault by Emma Robinson
AD | book tour – described as “a gripping, utterly-tear jerking and emotional family drama”, All My Fault by Emma Robinson set the scene that it was going to be a book that was going to pack an emotional punch and wow. It really did!
THE BLURB
There’s a knock at the door. It’s every mother’s worst nightmare: the police are here. They tell me my beautiful daughter Charlotte has been hurt. They’ll take me to the hospital, there’s no time to lose… and I know this must be all my fault.
Charlotte and I argued so badly the last time we spoke. I was just worried about her, but she refused to hear me out. And now she’s lying pale, still and silent in a hospital bed. I’m convinced this was no accident: the police should be questioning her boyfriend, Freddie.
I never thought he was good enough for her, but did he hurt my daughter? Guilt floods through me again and again. If we hadn’t argued, she wouldn’t have been with him today. If we hadn’t argued, I could have been there for her. But I didn’t listen and instead, she pushed me away. I didn’t even know my darling girl was pregnant.
And now she’s lost forever. The doctors say she will never wake up: the only part of her they can save is her unborn child…
There’s only one thing I can do. He may be my grandchild’s father, but I know Freddie is dangerous. I’ll fight with everything I have to prove he’s guilty.
I failed to protect Charlotte, but how far will I have to go to keep her baby safe? And will what’s left of my family ever survive: or will my part in my daughter’s death tear us all apart?
WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL MY FAULT
Oh my days. All My Fault hit me in the heart and had me crying on at least three separate occasions. Told from Joanna’s POV in the present and Freddie’s POV in the past, All My Fault is a story of love and loss and was such a compelling read that it kept me gripped to a story that had my heart breaking for them both.
I love that Joanna has her faults as a mother and All My Fault doesn’t shy away from the fact that most of the distance between Joanna and Charlotte’s distance at the time of a incident, is due to her controlling and borderline narcissistic behaviour. There is so much Jo did to push her away that you just wanted to reach through the pages and tell her to stop.
Packed full of suspicion, suspense and the positive power of friendships, as a mother, All My Fault resonated with me so much. The level of emotion that Robinson managed to put within in – both rational and irrational – had me on a tear flowing emotional rollercoaster.
All My Fault was released on 9th September and is available on Amazon for just £1.99 for the kindle edition.
