Summary

That's what he wants you to think....

A good mother doesn't forget things.

A good mother isn't a danger to herself.

A good mother isn't a danger to her baby.

You want to be the good mother you dreamed you could be.

But you're not. You're the bad mother you were destined to become.

At least, that what he wants you to believe....

Horrendous

This is THE worst book I have read. The story is slow, boring and predictable. There was nothing thrilling and there was certainly no suspense. This is a book about how pathetic and weak a person can be and the ending certainly confirmed it.

excellent storyline

I loved this audiobook from the very start, it kept my attention throughout and I couldn't wait for my daily commute to work to get lost in the story again
