mrs_george 's review for:
Mother Knows Best: A Novel
by Kira Peikoff
3.5 Stars
While this was a good story, I really liked that it made me think of situations beyond the story. I could sympathize about Claire's desire for motherhood but at what cost? Very thought-provoking as who knows that kind of things will be discovered in terms of fertility and/or genetics. I really like that the tension always seemed simmering and it didn't just happen out of the blue. My biggest hang-up was Abby's character. I have a 10-year old and Abby's behavior and thoughts did not line up with the age. Abby seemed more like a high school student and I couldn't get past that she was only supposed to be 10.
Thank you Netgalley for providing me with a copy.
