At first it was kind of aloof to me - everything in third person, bouncing between different people’s perspectives, and providing a bunch of women’s names I was having a hard time remembering. But once the ladies go out to the bar, the story picks up. The author did a great job of painting the scene; the fact that there were multiple perspectives and back stories helped to build the mystery and confusion about the turn of events. In fact, after the third chapter I glanced back at the highlights of chapters one and two, and that helped cement the starts of the story-line. There were times when the reading would get laborious for me because there’s 4 different women that are featured, and each woman usually has either her own chapter or chunks of a chapter that are from her viewpoint. This means that several chapters were left on semi cliff-hanger moments with new revelations about respective characters. The problem with that for me was that not every character had the same level of interesting things going on. So some of the chapters felt kind of boring while I was trying to get back to where another character left off. The book definitely has a twist. However, now that I’m finished with the book, I don’t really know how I feel about it. The author brushes over the main characters’ back stories - so I kind of felt connected to them, but then also not really. The epilogue felt like it kind of happened in shadow. You have an idea of where things stand, but it felt like it finished it the middle of a thought. I really loved this book. It was different from the other books I have been reading. A group of new mothers and one of the children go missing after the mother's go out for a night. This book had me guessing what happened. The secrets revealed about the women added fuel to the fire as to who could be the culprit. A good choice for our book club read for December. Wow! I don't know why I thought I wouldn't like this book, but I sure did! Told from several new mother's POVs, it was a book that kept me guessing about what really happened to baby Midas. In the beginning, I struggled a bit to distinguish the mothers, but after a while, their personalities were very distinct. Cleverly written whodunnit with humor and heart. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: 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 Mothersâ??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." â??B.A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Door Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
