The Stay-at-Home Mother
by Nicole Trope
Thank you to Bookouture and NetGalley for this ARC of The Stay-At-Home Mother by Nicole Trope. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the first book I’ve read by Nicole Trope (though I do have another one by her waiting for me on my bookshelf!)
What it’s about:
Andrea moves to a new house with her husband and young son- by no choice of her own. Heavily pregnant and far away from the friends and family who love her, she befriends a neighbor, Gabby, who has a teenage son, a husband who is always traveling for work, and is frequently checking in on Andrea and offering to help her with her son. Gabby’s intentions are not pure, however, and it becomes clear that Andrea should never had trusted her neighbor.
My thoughts:
Right off the bat, I could tell there was something wrong with Gabby… and was there ever. I don’t want to say that this book was predictable because there was a lot that I didn’t see coming- I just think I read this type of suspenseful domestic thriller style genre so often that I’m becoming able to anticipate what comes next. Throughout the book, secrets are explored about both women and their families, leading to a heart stopping ending- or what you think is the ending. The final twist in the prologue did surprise me! The amount of mind-blowing manipulation in this book is absolutely wild. One thing I didn’t like about this book was how long the chapters are. “18 min left in this chapter” just feels so daunting. I personally prefer shorter chapters in the books I read.
Publication date is set for January 3rd, 2023!
