MoMo Book Diary is pleased to recommend this well written intriguing drama as a 4* emotional read.

Marian Dillon’s Looking for Alex grabbed me from the first time I read the synopsis and the plot had me hooked, to the point I sat up until the early hours reading to discover what happened next.

The story is about two friends Beth and Alex, their friendship and the dynamics of their relationship. I felt the flitting between present day and flashbacks to 1970s interrupted the flow of the story but the compelling characters held my interest. The author described the locations vividly and cleverly transports the reader through time and place.

I was gripped more by the present day chapters as the flashbacks were much slower paced.

The author sympathetically captures the turmoil of the teenage years and relationships formed in shaping our adult lives.

Great writing by a great author. When I was asked by Marian Dillon to read and review her book I was not aware of her or her books. I am thankful for the opportunity to read this very talented author and look forward to reading more of Marian Dillon.
