This was one hell of a rollercoaster ride of a book and I thoroughly enjoyed the ride! At times I couldnt quite believe what I was reading because it was such an out of this world, unexpected twist. I thought it was expertly written and in a way that actually made you sympathize and agree with certain characters crazy views. I also really enjoyed the ending, it all worked out in such a satisfying way!This review was originally posted on [Between My Lines]Two facts about The Lost Daughter by Diane ChamberlainFact 1 : It is known as The Secret Life Of CeeCee Wilkes in the US (no idea why it's different over here, I prefer the US title).Fact 2 : It is an emotional timebomb.
