Not Her Daughter A Novel eBook Rea Frey

This was the first novel I had purchased in quite awhile and was excited to read it, however after finishing I did throw my kindle down with a bit of disgust I have to admit! OK spoilers ahead stop reading if you choose.
First off who was investigating this kidnapping...the keystone cops? The protagonist aka the kidnapper was ID`d to the cops and FBI by her ex the first weekend she had Emma! The investigators have her name and her plate number. She and Emma have been seen by others in their travels yet there is NO APB out for this woman....why?? Why are her assets not frozen-how is she able to freely traverse the country with full access to her money and business? If she is under suspicion for kidnapping BECAUSE HER EX CALLED THE COPS AND SAID SHE HAD KIDNAPPED A CHILD why are her business partners not being questioned? A cursory check of their most recent sales calls would have revealed that the kidnapper just so happened to be at Emma's school right before Emma disappeared. I mean seriously it goes on and on. And I guess the Dad in the story doesn't really matter...no one bothers to ask him if it is OK that the Mom just gave the kid BACK to her kidnapper.
Honestly even weaker than the ridiculous plot holes was how completely one dimensional Emma was. I really feel like the writer spent far more time describing all of the different parks they went to (like who cares) than really fleshing out Emma as a character. Really there is not one characteristic about Emma that stands out and makes you feel like you know her on any level.
I actually thought if the writer had redeemed the birth mother somehow at the end so that there might be hope for some type of reconciliation it might be interesting but nope. Of course Emma wants to stay with the woman who somehow magically invented a $10 million dollar educational toy and now wants to devote every waking moment to Emma's every possible need and want. I guess Emma will never see her Dad or brother again and she will just live life on the run with new mommy, each time things start seeming suspicious they will just up and move?
Anyway hope they fix some of these glaring plot holes before they make it a movie!

Not Her Daughter A Novel eBook Rea Frey Reviews

Domestic dramas are one of my favorite types of books. Although they’re fiction, I still feel that in order to be considered a “good book”, that there should be at least some realm of plausibility. I don’t feel this book had that. In my opinion, were just too many things that were way too far-fetched. It started right from the beginning, with how Sarah came across Emma again at the school after the first time she spotted her and then found her house out of nowhere, how the circumstances of the evening of her abduction fell into place, the whole Ethan thing, how the cops didn’t really look into her, that she would just stay for days with Emma at someone’s house whom she just met for, and what Amy did at the end. But— most importantly, any young child—I don’t care who it is or how badly their mother treated or abused them—would have in all reality been traumatized being with this new person- even if not immediately, it would have most definitely happened eventually, and the child would have cried for that missing parent. And, Emma never even misbehaved at all, which is ridiculous because even in the best of circumstances, children that age can be difficult at times and have tantrums. But in this book Emma was a saint of a child didn’t even mention her family. That would NEVER, EVER happen. Pretty much the whole book was just way over the top, unrealistic.
I almost couldn’t finish reading this book, but then I re-read the reviews, and thought maybe either I was missing something or that perhaps it would get better. Not so for either! But, after reading so far, I then had to find out how it ended. Speaking of how it ended, what will happen with that whole situation and what will it be like when Emma is no longer a “little girl” who needs protecting? She won’t stay little forever, and will eventually grow into a teenager.
I did think the “connection” that Sarah had grown up without a mother, and Amy grew up without a father, was interesting, and that they both had unhappy childhoods. The book also kinda made you think about what it really means to be a mother.
I am surprised that this book is being made into a movie, if that’s true. I would watch the movie, though, just to compare to the book. Usually books are better than movies, but I have a feeling it would be just the opposite here, or at least I would hope so. Everything was just so wrong with this book.
