The Bad Mothers' Book Club by Keris Stainton
5.0
Well there is certainly more to this book than meets the eye. The title makes you think it centres on a book club however this book is about so much more than that. I am a mother myself and related to this story on a certain level but I also think that even if you aren’t a mother you will enjoy this book.
Meeting Emma, Maggie, Jools, Beth and Hanan was an absolute joy and although I was slightly confused in the beginning as we meet so many different mothers and their families just in the first few chapters, I soon got used to each character. I found myself laughing out loud at certain events (naughty Buddy the dog!) but then Keris also takes you to a much more serious storyline with Jools that I am sure other people will also relate to. I won’t go into specific events as I highly recommend you read the book for yourself! 😊
I flew through this book in three days and that’s with loads of other stuff thrown my way. I found Keris’s writing captivating and made me feel like part of the gang. Being part of The Bad Mother’s Bookclub sounds so fun! Keris also has a way of giving each of the main characters their own storyline but then seamlessly integrates them together when needed.
‘The Bad Mother’s Book Club’ is about friendship, sticking together and supporting each other and not to judge each other straight away.
It doesn’t matter how you parent there is no right or wrong way to do that and this book has certainly cemented that more into my brain ❤️ I give ‘The Bad Mother’s Book Club’ 5*/5* 😊
