Disclaimer: I received a free copy of The Perfect Mother, by Claire Allan, from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
The Perfect Mother is a gripping psychological thriller with a relatable and emotionally raw protagonist. Mel’s struggles with intrusive thoughts and anxiety felt authentic and added depth to the story. Especially after the year she has had and being late in her pregnancy. The tension and suspicion surrounding the supporting characters kept me engaged, and the detailed nightmares enhanced the eerie atmosphere.
Mel’s quick decision to trust Alice again after their troubled history felt somewhat implausible and detracted slightly from the story’s realism. The twist, though somewhat predictable, was satisfying, and the fast-paced narrative made this an easy one-day read. I couldn’t put it down.
While the ending felt a bit rushed, the overall pacing and emotional complexity made this a compelling and addictive thriller. Fans of suspenseful, character-driven stories will find much to enjoy here.

Just finished my first 5-star read of the year, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, and it’s a book that truly touched my heart. As someone who works in special education, the message of this story hit close to home. Auggie Pullman’s journey of navigating a world that often struggles to accept differences is both realistic and deeply moving.
This coming-of-age story captures the importance of kindness, empathy, and seeing the world through others eyes. It’s a reminder of the incredible impact that compassion can have.
Books like Wonder bring up conversations that matter. They remind us to be better, do better, and teach others to do the same. I can only imagine the positive influence this book has had on classrooms, families, and hearts everywhere. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend picking it up. It’s a story that stays with you long after you turn the final page.
