I meant to just check that this one had uploaded to my kindle since the tour is still a ways away... but it was so good I devoured it and now I've got to wait almost a month to post about it! So I think I'll just give a sneak peak now and pop back in next month to share all the best details!
A Good Enough Mother
Mia is telling me a story. It’s about a princess, who lives in a castle, on a street that bears a remarkable resemblance to ours. About a kind old lady who’s the queen. I’m distracted for a moment by her little hand softly slipping into mine. My daughter. My angel.
But then she says something that pulls me from my reverie. She says that the queen doesn’t treat the princess well. She punishes her and doesn’t let her eat anything…
Helen, my neighbour, has been so good to me. And more importantly, she’s so good with the children. Surely this is just another story of Mia’s, just make believe.
Because if it’s not, maybe my dad was right all along: I was never good enough to be a mother, and I’ve let my precious children down in the worst way possible.
A heartbreaking and uplifting story about the choices a mother makes for the sake of her children, perfect for fans of Jodi Picoult, Emma Robinson and Kate Hewitt.
I LOVED this book. I was so drawn in by the weird dynamics between Jess and the neighbours. I had a few ideas of how it could turn out but this book certainly is not predictable! It had hints of psychological thriller without any truly scary moments, so it kept me hanging all the way through without worrying about something really bad happening to any of the characters. I also really enjoyed seeing the children grow up, especially Archie as he goes from not talking and barely toddling along to talking and getting into things!
Thanks so much to Boldwood and Rachel and Netgalley for giving me the chance to join this tour and read this fabulous book!
