A review by neilsbarringer
The Mother-in-Law by Kiersten Modglin

2.0

2 stars may be a little harsh, but to steal from another reviewer it is like a late night lifetime movie. The relationship Jack had with his "mom" was far fetched, I mean leaving his wedding night to answer a phone call from his mother? Also the whole premise of the book about Coralee being able to stay in the home...? I mean if Jack is a young man I am sure he could have picked her frail self up and "kicked her to the curb".
The whole idea about Meredith just "going off" was beyond weird, I mean if I was Loren and Meredith was as close of a friend/semi mom but refused to call her or come see her for months on end.....not buying it that red flags weren't going up....

I wanted to like it but, it just didn't work. It was too unbelievable for me!
