The Perfect Daughter by Alex Stone

On the third day of Rachel's Random Resources blog tour for The Perfect Daughter, I'm so happy to share my thoughts with you on this book. Please be sure to check out the other tour stops up until October 30th. I always enjoy hearing what different people think about a book. This is an extra special book because it is Alex Stone's debut novel!


Description

The perfect daughter…

Jess Harper has spent her whole life trying to make her mum, Abigail happy and proud. And everything Jess does, from the clothes she wears, the job she has, the men she dates, are all approved by Abigail first.

The perfect boyfriend…

So when Jess announces that she has a new man in her life – plumber Adam – Abigail is less than impressed. 'A plumber? Really, Jessica....' Adam encourages Jess to break free from her mum’s manipulation, can’t she see what’s happening?

The perfect mother….

But Abigail is only doing these things to keep Jess safe, to protect her from getting hurt again…isn’t she?

Or the perfect liar?

Jess, caught in the middle, doesn’t know who to believe or trust. And then Adam vanishes without trace.

Now Jess is the police’s prime suspect and they want to know if Jess really is as perfect as she seems….

A gripping new psychological thriller for fans of Sue Watson, Shalini Boland and S.E.Lynes


Review

The Perfect Daughter is a story about how much a family can influence you. Jess grew up without her father and has always been close with her mother. Some may say too close. When Jess gets a new boyfriend she is torn between him and her mother.

This twisted book kept me guessing. Jess’s mother has a lot of power over Jess and is not willing to give it up. I learned later in the book why that is. Jess spends most of the book trying to figure out what is real in her mind and what is real in life. My favorite part of the book is the ending, but I won’t spoil it. It is a very good read!
