The Better Mother: A Thriller

The Better Mother is a fast-paced thriller that will keep readers on the edge of their seats. When Savannah’s life plans fall through after her longtime boyfriend leaves her, Savannah meets a guy named Max. They hook up a few times, getting drinks and having sex. A few months later, Savannah finds out she’s pregnant. She calls Max and is surprised when he is more than willing to help her with the baby. The catch? He has gotten back together with his ex-girlfriend, Madison. This is where the fatal attraction starts to happen. Madison is obsessed with the baby; she calls the baby “ours” and posts all about it on social media. It turns out that Madison is one sick puppy and will stop at nothing to get her hands on the baby.

Although there aren’t too many twists in the book, it was written well and kept me engaged the whole time. The dialogue was a bit unrealistic at times, and characters popped in and out of scenes so much that I had to go back and reread sometimes. Overall, this was a great story, even though the writing wasn’t that strong.
