A Good Enough Mother by Bev Thomas
3.0
Thank you Netgalley, Penguin Random House Canada and Bav Thomas for free e-ARC in return of my honest review.
I was intrigued by the premise of the book. Well-experienced and well-known psychotherapist, Ruth Harland, finds herself in a tricky situation. One of her new clients looks like her disappeared son and against a better judgement, she continues to work with him. She fells into the trap of her own trauma.
I believe that most of the characters are very well-developed and the flow of the story is quite smooth. The narrative goes back and forth in telling Ruth's story. The transition between past and present is always flawless. There is no misunderstanding on what is when and where.
I wasn't satisfied with the ending, as I feel like there were not enough explanation regarding Dan's story, but overall it was quite entertaining.
What I learn is that if your child gives you his/her favorite book to read, you'd better read it!
