From #1 fan. XOXO

Inside are the pages of her mother’s diary that start with the lines:

Love, Mom.

Thank you to the publisher, Poisoned Pen Press, and NetGalley for the eARC for review purposes. All opinions expressed here are mine alone. The deluxe edition of “Love, Mom” by Iliana Xander will be available on September 2nd.

This has got to be my favorite read of 2025! Hands down, no questions asked. This book dives deep into Mackenzie Casper’s late mother’s life and the complex secrets she harbored. The twists were twisty, and when you think you’re in the clear, you’re hit with more twists. It has to be the most twisty book I’ve ever read.

I really enjoyed how the puzzle was put together in this gripping novel. I just couldn’t get enough and had to keep turning the pages. I couldn’t put it down.

Do yourself a favor and plan to read this soon!

I’d give it 6 out of 5 stars; it’s literally that good. Happy reading!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5
