Description

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 

An addictive psychological thriller about a group of women whose lives become unexpectedly connected when one of their newborns goes missing.

A night out. A few hours of fun. That’s all it was meant to be.

They call themselves the May Mothers—a group of new moms whose babies were born in the same month. Twice a week, they get together in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park for some much-needed adult time.

When the women go out for drinks at the hip neighborhood bar, they want a fun break from their daily routine. But on this hot Fourth of July night, something goes terrifyingly wrong: one of the babies is taken from his crib. Winnie, a single mom, was reluctant to leave six-week-old Midas with a babysitter, but her fellow May Mothers insisted everything would be fine. Now he is missing. What follows is a heart-pounding race to find Midas, during which secrets are exposed, marriages are tested, and friendships are destroyed. 

Thirteen days. An unexpected twist. The Perfect Mother is a "true page turner." —B.A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors

    I read this straight through unable to put it down. I was rapt with the chaos, suspense and the angst that followed that single moment when all of these lives changed and the aftermath of its destruction would impact them all profoundly and each manifest the distraught, despair and grief they feel some can express themselves and cope better than others but when something so sinister and tragic happen and your lives and circumstances are so parallel to one another it’s not only easy to resonate and have immense empathy for the victims and all doing their very best to fights out what did happen and who was actually responsible for this. No one wants to believe the very worst possible outcome in this situation but it’s been far too long now to keep the faith that anything other horrific can come from this one decision that was made that send such a paralyzing shockwave through their community all will do their own digging, so many different ways for nearly every one to come under question and the guilt the abject loss and feeling they wished they could have done more and as the clues and more of the facts unravel each women and man will not be able to remove themselves from the glaring allegations and rumors as well as blatant disregard for the truth and getting to the facts because these people are hyper charged with hormones and emotional distress from the whole incredible brutally savage act someone has done that’s the cruelest most unthinkable nightmare for all mankind especially parents more importantly the MOTHERS.

    The twist I did not see coming. I had someone else pinned as the culprit in my head. As a mother of 2 I related to most of the story as well. Very good read.
  • Not suspenseful at all....

    Really disappointed. Was really excited due to all of the reviews, however it never really came together for me. Lots of characters to remember with a drawn out story and anticlimactic ending.
  • A great read!

    I just finished reading this book and I will say it was hard to put down. I felt so many emotions while reading, it was hard to keep track of them all. Haha I highly suggest reading this.

    I like the set up the plot of the book but towards the end it did feel a little rush and I feel like the plot twist was just so out of the blue that it felt unauthentic and yet it was that shocking?

    Because this book had good reviews I decided to read it. The problem I had in the beginning was the same problem I had in the middle and end: It was scattered, disjointed and confusing, and I found myself having a hard time focusing on the story at times. There were too many characters and they were not really well-developed or likable. So many things in this book we’re completely unrealistic to the point that it was distracting and annoying. Definitely not a favorite and I would not recommend it.
