Maybe having a few enemies on the school run means you're doing something right…

Florence knows all about failure. After a dismal end to her 2000s girlband career, she’s moping around West London, single, broke and unfulfilled. The only things she’s proud of are her increasingly elaborate nail art choices – and her ten-year-old son, Dylan.

But when Alfie Risby, Dylan's bitter class rival and the child heir to a frozen foods empire, mysteriously vanishes on a school trip, Dylan becomes a prime suspect. Florence has to get her act together, find the missing boy and clear her son’s name or risk losing him forever. The only problem? She doesn’t have any detective skills, she’s not exactly popular at the school gates and she’s just found Alfie’s backpack hidden under Dylan’s bed…

All the Other Mothers Hate Me is an irresistibly witty novel about fitting in, starting over and the lengths we’ll go to for the people we love.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's clever, witty, honest about motherhood, Prep Schools and Cornwall. Highly recommend 👌

What a brilliant story - gripped from start to finish.

I like the story as it was unusual in terms of plot and the unravelling of the crime committed. I liked Florence’s doubts about her son and her inferred fear of what he might be capable of doing but her determination to protect him at all costs.She never assumes to know him completely which leaves the reader to wonder who else could be involved.

How much you grow to dislike the main character.
