The Perfect Mother
by Caroline Mitchell
They want her baby. Do they also want her life?
Roz is in her 20’s, has just lost her job, and finds out she’s pregnant from a one-night stand. With no real family besides her best friend, Dympna, she decides to go through an elite online adoption agency to find parents for her unborn child. Roz is selected by a diamond couple, celebrities who want to remain anonymous, and is flown from Dublin to New York City to meet the prospective parents. She’s excited to see who they are and is expecting politicians, but when she is dropped off at the home of celebrity A-list couple, Sheridan and Daniel, she’s surprised and excited.
Roz thought she was just going there to meet the couple, but she has to sign the agreement right away and is forced to stay with them immediately with no communication with the outside world due to a non-disclosure agreement. She can’t even let Dympna know where she is. Things seem very strange with a set schedule, no contact with the outside world, and being stuck in a basement apartment with no windows and no way out unless Sheridan or Daniel let her upstairs. When someone starts mysteriously leaving her gossip magazine articles about Sheridan and Daniel’s first child and about someone else who went missing around the same time they had that child, Roz starts to get suspicious and fear for not only her life, but the life of her unborn child.
The Perfect Mother by Caroline Mitchell was not what I was expecting at all. There were so many twists and turns and not everyone was as they seemed. Roz was naïve to think she could sell her baby and not have regrets, but what she goes through during the pregnancy was crazy. The perfect couple, Sheridan and Daniel have so many secrets of their own, and I never knew what was going to happen next with them. Dympna was a great character trying to find out what happened to her friend the entire time.
This was my first book by Caroline Mitchell, but won’t be my last. She sucked me in from the beginning and held my attention throughout. The story flowed well and there were some twists I definitely did not see coming. I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed and confusing though. Overall, I would recommend this though.
Thank you NetGalley and Amazon Publishing UK for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.
