I picked up Such a Good Mother and was absolutely transfixed. What mother hasn t considered doing absolutely anything to get into a circle of friends who can make her life more bearable and give her children access to the best things in life? I completely identified with Monks Takhar s heroine, Rose . . . until I couldn t believe what I was reading. Mothers and hustlers can be a lethal combination and the perfect recipe for a novel to keep you up all night. Amanda Eyre Ward, New York Times bestselling author of The Jetsetters
Wickedly paced and devilishly clever, Such a Good Mother showcases the terrifying lengths some parents will go to secure privileges for their children. A delicious and addictive read that goes straight for the jugular of modern motherhood. Lindsay Cameron, author of Just One Look
Everyone wants to join The Circle. But is it all that it s cracked up to be? Who is conning who? And can one woman outplay them all? If you re looking for smart, suspenseful prose, look no further. Helen Monks Takhar is now on my favorite list of authors. . . . Exceptional, taut, and emotional storytelling in Such a Good Mother. Georgina Cross, author of Nanny Needed
Fiendishly entertaining . . . A suspenseful and unsettling cautionary tale. Monks Takhar remains a writer to watch. Publishers Weekly
