A Good Enough Mother
Sheila Norton
Reviewed by Helen
I very much enjoyed this one even when I was frustrated with some of the characters throughout the story, we meet single Mum of two, Jess as she navigates life and work and doing the best for her beautiful children Mia and Archie.
Jess, lost her mum when she was fourteen and this was so hard for her, especially when her father was grieving so much and at seventeen Jess went off the rails and found herself falling for the wrong guy and pregnant this caused a big rift between father and daughter and when pregnant with her second child she knew she had to leave. A new address a new life and all seems well.
When new neighbours, Helen and Robert move into the building and Jess is struggling with work, school and nursey but when they offer to help mind the kids, Jess takes a chance but soon she is worried if she has made the right decision when Mia is telling stories about being punished and seeing her estranged father Jess gets even more worried, are Helen and Robert up to something are her kids safe and what’s more is she a good enough mother?
This is a very good story with lots of twists, I really liked Jess after all she had been through, worry about being a good mother to stay strong for her children, I do highly recommend this one it will have any reader turning the pages.
My thanks to the publisher Boldwood Books and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
