Thank you for the advanced copy. I didn't care for this book. It was a slog for me and I found myself skipping ahead in parts. Just wasn't for me.

Sadly, this is another domestic drama that is let down by being marketed as an incredible psychological thriller. The mystery is underwhelming, the characters are dull and don't really stand out in any way, and it's essentially a very quick and forgettable read. There are others out there that are better.

This book was not a thriller. It was just a bitchy mother who set out to put another mother down. There were no twists and turns just a very unlikeable main character.

This book was super twisty and not at all what I expected. I say that as a good thing. Amy comes from a traumatic past and with that, it has molded and shaped who she is as an adult and how she raises her kids. Enter Charlotte, who the mommy judges determine, is not the kind of mom she should be. Amy sets out on a crash course to rid the neighborhood of this woman before she does harm .But she is spiraling out of control. How far will she go. The multiple POV told from three characters adds to the suspense of this book and is worth checking out this coming new year.

This book was originally published in 2010 with something like, the crazy soccer moms as the title.

It isn't a thriller, more of a drama, and didn't grab me at all. The beginning was quite odd and honestly kind of disturbing and disjointed.

I don't recommend. I am incredibly unsure why it was republished.

An excellent domestic thriller, full of believable characters and an entertaining plot. Highly recommended. Plan on reading more books by this author.

I hate when books lie to me.

“A psychological thriller with a shocking twist”.

REALLY? The Good Mother is a drama story about a bunch of crazy snobby women and their obsession with their kids playing soccer, it’s long, it’s boring, the ending is predictable and IT’S NOT A THRILLER!

The only thing I like about this book is the cover.

Please do not read this book, I can promise you it’s not worth your time.
