ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS HATE ME by Sarah Harman is a snarky, wildly entertaining thriller/mystery featuring an insufferable protagonist who will make you both laugh and shake your head.

Florence Grimes once lived the wild life as a member of a girl band before getting pregnant and leaving the band just as they were about to hit it big. Now, she lives in a rundown house with her quirky ten-year-old son, Dylan, and his pet turtle, Greta. As an outcast among the other mothers, Florence spends her days watching reality TV, lounging around, and plotting her musical comeback.

When Dylan's classmate and bully mysteriously disappears during a field trip, Florence goes into full-blown panic mode. Could Dylan have been involved in the boy's disappearance? With the missing child's backpack under Dylan's bed, he quickly becomes the prime suspect in Florence's eyes. Desperate to protect her son, Florence enlists the help of another lonely single mom in her quest to either find the real culprit or shift the blame onto someone else.

Will Florence do the right thing in the end, and can she redeem herself in the eyes of the other mothers?

ALL THE OTHER MOTHERS HATE ME is an addictively messy mystery you can't look away from, even as Florence’s reckless decisions and moral ambiguity leave you questioning her every move. At her worst, Florence is a selfish, lazy mother, but her fierce, unwavering devotion to Dylan shines through. She'll go to any lengths—whether breaking the law or framing others—to protect him, but by the end, she does show some growth and selflessness. The plot moves at a quick pace, with engaging writing and concise chapters. There are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments as Florence and Jenny's investigation unfolds. With multiple suspects and motives surrounding the disappearance, the story builds toward a surprising twist that leaves readers questioning just how far the protagonist will go in this wickedly dark mystery.
