Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam Books for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful debut novel by Sarah Harman. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!
Florence Grimes is single, broke, and desperate for a career redo. The one bright spot in her life is her 10-year-old son, Dylan. But Dylan is a little different and has been struggling in school with bullies. And Florence definitely doesn't fit in with the other moms at his school. When Alfie Risby, Dylan's biggest tormenter, disappears during a class field trip, Dylan becomes the prime suspect. Florence will do anything to save Dylan.
I adored this book! I'm a huge fan of domestic suspense and dark humor, and this one had those in spades. Even while you'll question some of Florence's behaviors, she will have you laughing and rooting for her til the end. Along with her only mom friend, Jenny, they decide to become detectives and try and discover what happened to Alfie. Such a fabulous debut and I can envision more books starring Florence and Jenny - pretty please?
