'The Mother I Could Have Been' is a poignant, bittersweet portrayal of the frailty of life, the complexities of family dynamics, and the resiliency of the human spirit. In the wake of fractured relationships, both Vicky and Caro had to face the consequences of their actions in order to pick up the pieces and bring their families together. It was satisfying to see that, not unlike real life, some issues did not have a happy ending and some conflicts were not resolved, but life carried on.
Midway through this book, I had to switch to the Voiceviewer audible reader because I had work to do but I just could not bear to step away from the story. This would be a wonderful addition to a book club reading list.
Thank you to NetGalley, Bookouture, and Kerry Fisher for an ARC of 'The Mother I Could Have Been' in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.
