Almost Perfect Therese Loreskär

In Cambridge, even motherhood is competitive.

There are rules.

Stay polished.

Stay loyal.

Stay in your place.

Poppy Moore doesn’t.

After her daughter wins the wrong crown, the smiles turn brittle and the playground turns political.

Because behind every perfect familyphoto lies a hierarchy and someone always pays for breaking it.

An Almost Perfect Mother is a sharp, funny novel about rivalry, reinvention and what happens when the glitter starts to crack.
