At Goodreads in 2014 she tagged "five of her favorite books that understand the loving and aggravating ties that bind mothers and daughters." One title on the list:
Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreightRead about another entry on the list.
In a year when everyone was still talking about Gone Girl, I couldn't stop talking about this book. Kate, an overworked, overwhelmed mom who is trying to balance her job as a lawyer and her life as a parent, is called to the school to find out that her daughter has apparently jumped off the roof, committing suicide. The book hurtles toward a crazy conclusion as Kate pieces together details of her daughter's life that she didn't know.
Reconstructing Amelia is among Christina McDonald's eight thrillers featuring mothers on a mission and Megan Reynolds's ten must-read books if you loved Gone Girl.
