Random Attachment must have some of the most bizarre and creepy plot twists I've ever read in YA fiction, I can't seem to get this story out of my head! It's a slow burn of a book, which I love, but I raced through the last few chapters, needing to know what happens. All in all, this is such a cleverly written story and I enjoyed it a lot.

Mia is such a likeable character, I found myself rooting for her right from the start and the chemistry between her and Flynn was really cute and funny. For such a dark story, it had me laughing out loud a few times.

Did you ever read Point Horror books as a kid? This actually reminded me of those kind of books, apart from the adult content in Random Attachment. Sometimes I think there's a fine line between young adult and adult fiction and for me, this book hits that line.


Content warning - This book contains graphic depictions of rape and sexual assault.

Thank you Gertrude T Kitty for Random Attachment.

Random Attachment is a young adult romance thriller that follows 17 year old Mia Dent. Mia struggles with her weight and in social situations. At home, she struggles with her relationship with her mom who is battling alcoholism. Mia is attracted to a guy, Flynn, and fantasizes about him, creating her own backstory on him. While she is essentially stalking him, Mia herself is being stalked by a sexual predator who is abducting girls. This novel alternates perspectives and while sometimes thoughts feel abrupt, it keeps the reader wondering what’s really going on. This book is written in a conversational way with a lot of dialogue between characters. It certainly embodies the thought process and mindset of a teenager. It was an interesting premise and I think mature teens or young adults would enjoy this!

I truly enjoyed reading Mia's story! And this was finally a thriller where I couldn't predict who was the killer!!!!

Mia is such an interesting character, like one you're not used to. She has such a difficult life with her abusive and alcoholic mother, she is so unhappy it hurts - until she starts getting obsessed with a guy and changes - "he is the catalyst to change" as the author says. Meanwhile, there's this killer on the loose who has an obsession of his own! If you like unpredictable thrillers with twists and turns and romance but not the usual kind, this is for you! This is for anyone actually! It's on my re-read list already because I want to read it again and pay more attention to clues on the killer's identity!

A brilliant first book from auther Gertrude T. Kitty. This is a real treat for those who like to read YA thrillers. Random Attachment had me hooked from the start all the way to the end. Some moments were leaving me on the edge of my seating just wanting to findout what would happen next.

This book is a modern day Cinderella retelling, a teenage girl called Mia, who has to live with her alcoholic mother, is very cruel towards her daughter. To get by, Mia fantasizes about the attractive guy she spots on the train during her journey to school. Her fantasies and feelings towards this stranger get abit too much and her harmless tendencies grow to obsession and slight stalkery. In the mean time, a serial rapist known as the wolf, who kidnaps teenage girls has just spotted his next victim.....

I bought this book in a stationery/book bundle off Ebay from the author.
Went into this not knowing what to expect but it's definitely a thrill ride of a book. There's the main character Mia and her horrific alcoholic mother who belittles her at every turn, Mia's obsession leading to stalking of Flynn and the underlying threat of the Beast who is abducting and murdering young girls. There were several red herrings and I thought I'd guessed the murderer twice only to get it massively wrong.
There's a fair few grammatical errors in the book which need sorting and some of the sentences don't seem to be punctuated properly which does pull it down a bit for me.

Living on a rough London estate with her alcoholic and abusive mother, Mia has a hard life. Young and vulnerable with low self esteem, she is overweight and deeply unhappy. One day on her way to school she sees Flynn a young man who she feels drawn to. Seeing him a second time, she becomes infatuated with him and wanting to be with him. She begins to almost stalk him. Being near Flynn causes change in Mia's life, she begins to get in shape, gets a job and aims for a better life for herself. At the same time as catching Flynn's attention she also catches the attention of a serial killer, 'The Wolf'. Not only is the wolf a killer but he also plays mind games with his victims. Mia needs all her wits about her to try and outsmart the wolf.

I thought that this YA book, aimed at the older reader, was a real dark thrill of a read. For me from the first few pages it was like rooting for the underdog; as I followed Mia through the dark times of her life and then as the book went on, saw her put off her low self esteem and poor body image and make something of her life. I think Gertrude Kitty has done a brilliant job of writing a great romance novel which is also a gritty thriller with twists and turns which keep the reader guessing right up to the very end. I very much enjoyed reading this and as always with all great thrillers found it hard to put down as I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next!

I was gifted a copy of this book by the author (thank you!), but this is my honest opinion.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and was glued to it's pages for the past couple days. This romance/ thriller combo is fantastic and you find yourself hooked in following the main character, Mia Dent's story. Mia has gone through many torments and you really do feel for her throughout the story. She is a shy, self conscious girl who has a lot of family issues aswell as living in a dangerous area where no one is safe. This is a YA book that doesn't sugar coat things. You feel like a fly on the wall watching this vulnerable girl go through plenty of hardships which build up to why she has even more awful things thrown at her. On the cover you will see it says 'A girl. A boy. A killer.' and that is exactly what you are getting with this book. You have a love story alongside a vicious hunt to find out who this murderous person is, who is taking girls off the streets. This book had everything, it's also a very easy book to read so if you need something to help you get back on track with your reading it's a good choice 👍

*I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

I really enjoyed the premise of this book, and the plot kept me intrigued throughout. However, there were many grammatical errors and I feel like the story was rushed in some parts, which ultimately lessened my enjoyment of this novel and at times caused me to stop reading. However, the plot is original and kept me hooked and I think this author is full of potential and I can't wait to see more from her.

I was very kindly sent a copy of this book by the author to read and share my thoughts on.

I read this book in just two sittings ,flying through the first half and then finishing it the next day. I really enjoyed the writing style, found it so easy to get stuck into and just loved all the humour within the book too, even though it's a dark one , with the humour and the love story too, it makes it a brilliant mix of everything. I feel it really holds it's own among the many YA books out there that are regarded as the high rated and hyped up, as does it's lead characters of Mia and Fylnn! who i adored.

I love all the themes this book manages to cover, it's dark , sure , but it's also got so much heart in it too that you find yourself heart broken one moment just to be on the next chapter and laughing to yourself due to some remark that Mia or Fylnn has made. And i loved that about it , because it adds a layer of something special to the story in my opinion. It's a rollercoaster of events and emotions , and i enjoyed every single minute of it. I would 100% read a sequel to this , that just focused on Mia and Fylnn's day to day life ha , they are that brilliant , they just seem to real and i love that, that connection with characters doesn't always come around and when it does it's great!

The writing style i just really loved , i found it so quick to get into and genuinely enjoyed every single page. I was a big fan of the format , starting the book the way it did where the opening scenes are the closing scenes , and the whole story is then told via flashbacks and Mias own recollections , i loved! it was so well done and just kept everything flowing so well.

I would recommend this to anyone who loves YA (older readers though, as it states on the back of the book) , anyone who wants a really decent thrilling read , also full of love and humour too!

*TW - VIOLENCE, SEXUAL ASSULT, EMOTIONAL ABUSE, PHYSICAL ABUSE, FATPHOBIA, EATING DISORDERS*

One of the first thing I noticed about this book was how, on the back, the book comes with a TW, which personally, for me, rates this book much higher for me. I feel more books with a TW should be noted from the beginning, especially if you’re going into the book blind.

The main character, Mia, had me hooked from the beginning. I felt every emotion with her. I wanted so badly to jump into the book and give her a hug - it’s always so hard to rate a book when you relate to it so much.

This book was full of suspense, darkness, humour and sadness, that on every page there was SOMETHING. I flew through this book and thought the story line was extremely powerful.

I loved the element of romance, too. Which was executed really well - it shows that even in tough times, attachments are still very strong. Mia and Flynn are easy to fall in love with and you find you’re riding through the relationship with them too.

This book was extremely well executed in my opinion and I would definitely love to read more by Gertrude in the future. Unfortunately, for me the only reason I didn’t give this book a 5 star review was because I did find a few grammatical errors and this does tend to throw me. Alas, it would not stop me reading other books, I would just be looking for more grammatical errors.
However, a really fantastic book!

Plot is really interesting and I whizzed through this in a couple of days but I struggled with a few bits....

The timeline jumps about quite a bit as there are no indicators as to when things are taking place. There are also some very confusing date references (one minute it's 2018, the next 2019). And she seems to go a long time before she turns 18. Like over a year. ? And at one point it is definitely cold, February, then suddenly she has finished her A-levels and it's June. In one line four months have disappeared.

The main character, Mia, undergoes a lot of development in the book - but not all of it is seen or explained; it is at the beginning, but not after about half way through. For example, at no point does she ever start running training - she isn't allowed on the treadmill at her gym - but she is suddenly able to run a half marathon. And after she gets beaten and attacked she gets released from hospital and told to go home and return in 10 days for an operation - at no point does she get given the details for social housing (she seemingly just goes there) and never returns for the surgery.

For me the biggest clanger is the part where Flynn and Mia look at one another "as people gaze at Monet's Starry Night". Monet did not paint the Starry Night. Van Gough did! A quick Google would have resolved this easily!

Mia captures your heart in this fast pace, well written YA novel.

Mia has a hard life, living with her alcoholic mother and the many boyfriends that pass through Mia's front door. Mia has to fend for herself as well as become a carer when her mum comes home worse for wear on many occasions. Topped with the emotional abuse of unkind words spat to her by her mother Mia is in desperate need of escaping her unhappy reality. It is when Mia spots Flynn, a handsome stranger that Mia's life starts to change. Kitty weaves so many issues carefully into this novel; heartache, feeling of loss, terror, abuse, humour, body image, love, sex, alcoholism, inner strength and belonging. The story is full of action and mystery: who is the wolf and will he finally capture Mia?

Thank you to Gertrude. T. Kitty for a copy of your wonderful book, it was an absolute pleasure to read in return for my honest opinion. I will treasure my copy and urge all YA fans to grab a copy of this book.

Author Gertrude T. Kitty reached out to me via Instagram to encourage readers to make Random Attachment their next read. Knowing self-promotion can be difficult, I gave her book a preview glance. It was interesting--the beginning does grab your attention. There were some moments of confusion because you're tossed into a whirlwind of something big that has obviously taken place. I needed to know more so I decided to give this one a try.

As a whole, it's a page turner (which I love). I found the plot full of suspense and drama--a true thriller. From my perspective, it holds a lot of promise to be successful. Unfortunately, there were grammatical errors that made me second guess myself whether I should continue reading. I believe, with fresh eyes, it can be fixed. It definitely threw me off whenever I would run into them, and they weren't few. I couldn't stop reading, though, because like I said, the plot beckoned you to find out more. I will say this--the author is certainly gifted.

Random Attachment by Gertrude T. Kitty. This book had me on my toes! At first, I kind of hated the main character, Mia, but very soon I started to understand that she had been dealt a bad hand in life and I ended up loving her!!! She is such a sweet spirited girl with many insecurities but works hard to overcome the cruelties of her life. While she is dealing with a broken home life, there is also a monster on the loose preying on young women and he has set his sights on Mia. Those around her are being targeted and hurt by association. This book is full of suspense and keeps you guessing until the end. This book had me in its grip from about a quarter of the way in and I found it hard to put down! If you’ve read this book, please let us know what you think of it, if not, go out and grab a copy soon!!!

Let’s start by saying, I had high hopes for this book. After all, here on Goodreads it had 36 reviews with an average of 4.25 stars (out of 5) when I decided to buy this book. To me, that said something.

Having read the first 100 pages of this story, I’m sorry to say that this book wasn’t for me. The premise of this book sounds amazing, but for me the execution is poorly done, and I have to wonder how people were able to overlook all the issues I found in this book.

Let me be very clear: this writer has a great story idea here. I can understand why people feel drawn to it. It’s the execution that needs work, and there lies the focus of this review. After all, the 36 raving reviews already highlight everything that’s awesome about this book. So, if you are sensitive about this book and you’re not ready to read, what I feel are, objective points from a reader and editor’s point of view, I suggest you stop reading now. I’m not writing this review to bash the story or the author – my only intention is to shine light on the things that I feel need improvement so this book can really shine. So… let’s dive into the (nitty gritty) details, shall we?

Premise

For a story that describes itself as “A coming of age, dark, humorous, romantic thriller. A twenty-first century Cinderella”, I have to say that I had a completely different expectation going in than what I actually got. A dark, yet humorous Cinderella-story about an overweight girl who’s crushing on someone, while being watched by an abductor? Heck yes! I expected drama, self-reflection and, in the end, a great love story. What the story offered was a psychological and emotional traumatized main character that was hard to relate to, characters and situations that didn’t make sense and an immature “romance” of the creepy kind (not at all a Cinderella story in my book).

Subjects
The book dealt with a lot of subjects: a kidnapping, a murderer, bullies on the street, an infatuation (borderline stalker) and a teen who has a troubled relationship with her mother. It reminded me of one of the first stories I ever wrote when I was a teenager. Don’t get me wrong: I love drama. Still do, to this day. But I’ve also learned that it needs to make sense.
With this book, it felt like the author tried to push several subjects into an already cramped up book. If this book was part of a series, it would’ve worked better, because really, it’s like the old saying: the devil is in the details. The more subjects you use in your story, the more page time you need to give them, in order to really pull your reader in and make it a believable story.

Editorial notes
This story itself is definitely for mature audiences only. There are some graphic scenes of (verbal) abuse and rape, unsuitable for younger, or sensitive, readers and there’s no lack in curse words.

The way the story was executed, however, would be something only younger, or inexperienced, readers would find acceptable because it depicted an unrealistic view of how things work in this world. As this isn’t fantasy, I expect a level of realism – a story that’s been dramatized but in theory is still possible to happen in real life.

I found quite a few issues in this book that made me question whether or not the author has given this book rounds of (professional) editing, especially developmental and line editing, before hitting that publish button.

Like the scene where Mia gets a nosebleed and one of the adults present tells her to tilt her head back. Definitely bad advice, because that will cause blood to run into your throat which can then make you cough or choke, and if you swallow a lot of blood, you might vomit.

Or the scene with Mia being asked for a DNA sample (weird, but okay). Mia asks what would happen if she refused. The forensic scientist tells her that he has the legal right to take one. That is simply not true. The police can require Mia to give a DNA sample only if they’ve arrested her for a criminal offence that carries a possible jail term – which she wasn’t because she was only detained – or if they intend to charge her with one of those offences. If she was just a suspect, and this is a way to get more evidence to arrest her, then the police can only ask Mia to give a sample voluntarily, and if she refuses – which she clearly did – they can only get a sample from her if they go to a judge and get a court order – called a “compulsion order”.

Yes, these might seem like small things and I understand there might be (slight) differences in laws from one country to the next, but, as said before, the devil is in the details. As we don’t know where this story takes place, only when, the reader will fill in those blanks.

Main Characters
Mia Dent (17) is the main character. She comes across as depressed and quick to judge as portrayed in this scene:
“A twenty-something, Eastern European bloke with hawk eyes wanted access. He was handsome in an unhappy way. Mia decided he was a Syrian refugee. He carried unimaginable pain in his heart.”

Now, I understand that Mia is prone to creating stories around the people she meets, as she did also with Flynn whom she called Jay in the beginning. I love that idea, but it’s also very hard to execute because you need to be able to let your readers experience this from Mia’s point of view. To her, this is very normal, but most readers don’t think like her. I thought Jay was a completely different person, and I couldn’t understand why Mia was swooning over some guy named Jay when in fact the love story was to be revolved around Flynn and her.

Now, if this psychological aspect would’ve been given the main focus of this book, and we dive deeper into Mia’s head and the psychology behind it, I might’ve been on board. But unfortunately, the story contained many more focus points (as stated under The Writing), which hurt the execution of this interesting subject.

One of the first things we learn about Flynn Mason (20), is that he has a restraining order against Mia, but he comes as soon as she calls him from the police station. That was the first question mark I had about their relationship. The scene that explained this later in the book reminded me of a reversed Stockholm syndrome.

Then, when they actually have their first real talk, Mia continues to want to touch him, as though he’s not real and she wants to make sure she’s not dreaming. What struck me as bizarre was how Flynn responded to her. He knew she’d been following him, and at one point in that first meeting he noticed he cared for her. That didn’t make sense. She hadn’t done anything yet, that would make it logical for him to care for her.

So, in conclusion

This was a DNF for me. I’ve given it 100 pages – A more than fair share of pages to make a story latch on (especially, when you consider that most publishing houses only look at the first few pages). I skimmed the remainder of the book, just to see if the story would improve but nothing made me rethink my decision to DNF this book.

Does this make my review less valuable? Some people would say it does, but I would disagree. I think a lot can be said about a DNF. About the reader, for sure, but also about the way the book’s been written. There’s room for improvement.

To me, this book is the mash up of 3 or 4 different books, and had they all been given their own book – a series if you will – and they’d edited with professional help, they would’ve been freakin’ amazing.

If you want to read this book, I’d advise you to go and use the Look Inside feature on Amazon. Don't trust solely on the reviews. See if the first chapters appeals to you, because I found these exemplary for how the rest of the book’s been written.

This is a book that will hook you from the very first page. Random Attachment by Gertrude T Kitty will make your heart bounce when you read the prologue. The book starts with the prologue with these quoted lines, "I want to kill my mother. I am not joking." Not only is the prologue startling, but the plot of the book is riveting. A high-paced book that will skip the beat of your heart with jolts on each page.

Mia Dent, a teenager who has seen a lot in her life is frustrated now. Her character is relatable to most teenagers. She falls for Flynn and just like a normal person tries to stalk him. Do you think every teenager goes through different stages of rebel? The real plot starts when Wolf, a rapist, serial murderer comes and stalks Mia. She has no idea about this. What will happen to Mia? Will Paddington Police station be convinced about Wolf? This power-packed book will make you read this book in one-sitting.

It is one of the most chilling and amazing YA thrillers. The plot is weaved intricately and with a lot of precision. The blossoming romance of Mia and Flynn is a bliss. She tries to reconcile herself and heal her past traumas. The character development is effortless. The detailed development of each character helps to get into the book vehemently. Each of us have past, but to heal ourselves is the ultimate. Here, the descriptions are vivid and wild. The character of Wolf have been written in such a way that it doesn't sounds weighty. All the sub-characters are detailed and given appropriate credit.

The perspective of each protagonist are written in a descriptive manner where there is no derth of confusion. We get to see the inner London life, a teenager who doesn't fit in, an abductor, a blossoming romance of a teenager. The book is intriguing till the end and the climax is totally unpredictable. One of the finest book written on this genre.

Mia is someone who goes through so much shit, really, she has a horrible home life and her mother is basically evil incarnate. You sympathize SO MUCH for her as you read along and you cheer her onward in her bettering herself, in her mental health and with treating her body as something more than to be ignored.

Mia ups her game at school realizing her best shot of getting out of this horrible cycle of life with her mom is go off to Uni and be far away.

However, not everything happens according to plan and though Mia perseveres through her troubles, she's handed more and more as she goes as well. Her father's health is not the greatest, and she's developed a new unhealthy obsession. Flynn.

However, there is something else going on in the streets of London, young girls have gone missing 'The Wolf' is at hand and there are already two bodies on his counter. But, who is this man, and what is his connection to Mia, and why is he so fascinated with her?

Can I just say that the parallel between The Wolf and Mia as both people who have stalked is actually super intriguing and Kitty pulls it off really well by showing you how it can be in extremes and that Mia in a way has a connection to The Wolf in that they both have kept an eye on what they want.

Kitty's manner of storytelling is wonderful, she has a great way with words and aside from a couple of minor typos the rest of the book was flawless in her style, as far as my tastes go!

Content Warning: Body image issues, people fat shaming the MC, sexual assault, attempted rape, violence, forcibly restrained/kidnapped characters, mention of others being raped -but not described- and alcohol abuse.

My rating:- 4.5/5 🌟
My review:-
This is a true enjoyment for those who want to read Ya Thrillers. Random plant was crocheted me at the end of the beginning. Some moments left me at the edge of my seats, which only want to find what would happen.

This romantic / thriller combo is fantastic and you think they are in the main character, the story of Mia Dent, addicted. Mia has made many torments and they really feel like them all over the story.

She is a shy, self-confident girl with many family problems such as life in a dangerous area in which no one is safe. This is a YA book that does not do things out of the sugar jacket. They feel like a fly on the wall looking at this susceptible girl by numerous hardness that were built why they wait for terrible things.

On the cover you see that it says "a girl says a boy. A killer.` and that's exactly what you get with this book. You have a love story next to a malicious yacht to find out who this murdered person that girls go from the streets. This book had everything!

Property turns, timing and change in pace and focus keeping it fresh and interesting, but it is the incredible understanding of the author in his "psychen and their relationship signs, especially from Mia, that is the most fascinating. 444 The insulting relationship between MIA and Their extremely defective mother is centrally for the book and the source of many of their despair and a bad self-image, but also the catalyst for a large part of the humor in the book.

📒Book review tour

📒 Title- Random Attachement

📒 Author- Gertrude Kitty

📒My rating- 4.7/5

📒My review: I am personally a fan of thrlller movies, books and stories that's why I get inclined towards such stories. This story is a dark, humorous and a romantic thriller. The story is about a girl, actually a modern age Cindrella. Isn't it interesting?

Random Attachment by Gertrude T. Kitty is a terrific book. I enjoyed reading it immensely and it entertained me hugely. It’s reminiscent of a gritty British police drama, and I could imagine it being a two or three part TV adaptation. The dialogue is superb and very up to the minute, although I found myself questioning the realism of Mia’s monologues to the detectives on a few occasions, yet this does serve to move the narrative along effectively - and belief can be suspended. I loved the references to parts of London, and, if you are somewhat familiar with the city, it greatly adds to the enjoyment of the book - in fact it’s quite a delight in this respect. It’s gripping and keeps you hooked and guessing. I was suspicious of all the characters at certain points, and I appreciated the way in which the narrative led me to do this. It’s a very modern and current piece of writing, portraying the here and now truthfully and brilliantly.

Essentially, I found Random Attachment to be a love story too. The author weaves romance into the story well, and, as a result, I found myself harking back to those fresh, romantic days of my youth. Mia is easy to fall in love with as a reader: she is tremendously recognisable (for me anyway), and lacks any of the unpleasantness so often associated with fictional teens. She is a wonderful underdog, and is one of the superb reasons to read Random Attachment.

📒Book review tour

📒 Title- RANDOM ATTACHMENT

📒 Author-  Gertrude. T. Kitty

📒My rating- 4.9/5

📒My review:
I really enjoyed this book, it was a real page turner! I was hooked from the start. This book is written very well and the two main characters, Mia and Flynn, are likeable. Mia has been through a lot and you are rooting for her through the book, the way Mia and Flynn got together was a little unorthodox but I liked them as a couple!
At first, I kind of hated the main character, Mia, but very soon I started to understand that she had been dealt a bad hand in life and I ended up loving her!!! She is such a sweet spirited girl with many insecurities but works hard to overcome the cruelties of her life. 
While she is dealing with a broken home life, there is also a monster on the loose preying on young women and he has set his sights on Mia. Those around her are being targeted and hurt by association. 
This book is full of suspense and keeps you guessing until the end. This book had me in its grip from about a quarter of the way in and I found it hard to put down! If you’ve read this book, please let us know what you think of it, if not, go out and grab a copy soon!!!

📚 Random Attachment 📚

📚Rating: 4.5/5📚

📚Review:

📚Random Attachment is a well made fictional story by Gertrude T. Kitty.

📚The story is very dark, absolutely thrilling and has a great storyline altogether.

📚The story revolves around the girl named Mia Dent who's a teenager of 17 living in West London Estate.

📚Being a teenager girl, she is very cautious of her weight and is quite disturbed for that.

📚In addition, she's already facing a lot due to her mother who's addicted to alcohol.

📚She fantasized herself with a boy named Flynn and this takes the story to another level.

📚The storyline around Flynn & Mia was well made and descriptive. Mia tried moving on from her past around the fantasies of Flynn. Sometimes in life, to get over the dark, terrifying past, in the most unpredictable time, we put on all our emotions on someone else to move on from it. You'll thoroughly enjoy these two characters.

📚In all these choas, a predator is stalking Mia. Did Mia got abducted? Did the predator successfully kidnapped her? What happened to Mia? Do you want to know what happens next? Do read the book available on Amazon and let me know how you like it!
