My Rating (out of 5)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"A Tale of Mayhem and Modern Motherhood".  A stunning story that will keep you up late turning pages, and hugging your children a little tighter.

The May mothers are a group of new mother's who meet twice a week to offer each other companionship and support as they navigate the early days of new motherhood.  Under a tree, eating mini-muffins, they share birth stories and offer each other advice and support.  

One day the unthinkable happens. One one of the babies goes missing.  As they all wonder what happened to that baby, one thing is certain to all of them - they did not know each other as well as they had thought. 

I think any mother could easily relate to the characters that Molloy created in this book.  They were each in their own way, perfectly imperfect. Each of them struggled with the very real stresses that come with being a new mother. It can be a little overwhelming at first and the author captured that perfectly.  It was very easy to become emotionally invested in this book.

The story was filled with twists and turns and false leads, as well as the raw emotion that accompanies motherhood in the early days, which made "The Perfect Mother" gripping and powerful book.

This book is expected to be one of the hottest reads of the summer for 2018 for good reason.  The movie rights for this book have been secured by TriStar.

Happy Reading,
Christine
