Loverboy by Victoria Reed

As I read the first few pages of this novel I came across instances where I was disturbed by the storyline.  The disturbing instances continued to get worse until the end of the novel where it was the worst. 

A child who was neglected emotionally grew up and her goal was to have a child who would love her and be loved.  The relationship between the mother and child is weird.  The child seems healthy, but the mother doesn't. 

The way the story is written is somewhat interesting.  There are flashbacks and the story is told in jumbled patches which isn't discernable until the end of the novel.

I would give this book a 5/10.
