purplesky02 's review for:
The Perfect Mother
by Nina Darnton
2.5 stars
I thought this book was okay. I really did not like Jennifer or Emma. I thought they were both spoiled, whiny and entitled. At some points, I found myself rooting against them because I found them so unlikeable. Jennifer views her daughter Emma as having no faults at all and explains away everything that Emma does wrong, even her part in the murder of a young Spanish man. My dislike only increased as she pines away for the PI helping her work on her daughter's case. She just came across as so selfish. She didn't care that her other kids at home needed her. She said that she was staying in Spain to help her daughter, but it was clear that she just wanted to be near Roberto.
Emma does nothing but whine and complain, even as her parents are paying for high priced lawyers and private detectives to help her. Without them, she would've rotted away in a Spanish prison and she is not the least bit grateful.
