Alice McDermott

A Novel

Child of My Heart

this could've been a great summer read, it started out so well but then it gets weird when the mc (15 btw) begin having a sexual relationship with a 70 yr old man.. why are creepy men all around these girls?? and the parents just let her go around the town with multiple kid with her alone. i just cannot believe a 15 yr old would be attracted to an old man like that. 

another issue i have is that she kept saying that daisy is very dear to her but the amount of times she dismissed the kid's condition is pissing me off, even the old creep noticed that something is wrong but she always shrug it off until it's too late.

what a waste of good plot, it has potential to be really great but i just do not understand what is the title gotta do with story if all she thinks about is flirting with that old man literally 70% of the book. doesn't seem like she cares that much to the "child of her heart".
