I am the 7th rating and so far it's only getting 2.9* and mine will bring it down more

On the inside flap at the very bottom there's a thumbs up from B. A. Paris but I just quit reading her newest book because it was so terrible! This one isn't much better'

I didn't really like the idea of a 'mommy's club' including only mom's that have babies born in the same month, but these people were really not likable people, I thought the story very boring, slow going, and choppy, it just wasn't making much sense at all and I think it was mostly about the 'club' than about the missing baby

The May Mothers is a group of new moms whose babies were born in the month of May. They meet in the park for much-needed adult time. One night they go out for drinks and Winnieâs baby is taken from his crib by the time she returns home. There is a heart-pounding race to find Midas as secrets are exposed and friendships are destroyed. Good book - too many characters that got confusing. Keep a list!

I absolutely love it when you find an amazing book, and that amazing book just happens to be a debut author! It leads to such promising books in the future, which really makes me giddy!

The characters were amazing...a bit weird...but I think that's part of what made this book so great! They were brutally honest about a time in life that so few are honest about...a time in life that one is so brittle (or at least can be!) I think a great deal of the charm of this book is the characters and the story!

The story is not unlike others in ways, but so very different in other ways, which honestly, seems brilliant! If Aimee Molloy's first book was this great...I CANNOT WAIT to read what else she's got up her sleeve! I think this is definitely a name to watch out for! Just when you thought you knew what was going to happen, Molloy hit you with a turn that came so fast, there was no way you could predict it! It was magnificent!

The Perfect Mother was narrated by Cristin Milioti, which was a first for me! I can honestly say that I was not disappointed! I will definitely look out for Milioti for more titles because she totally rocked this one!

Overall, there's only going to be great things happening for Aimee Molloy! This was an OUTSTANDING debut novel! She definitely knocked it out of the park with this one!
