3 .5 Stars • Mother Knows Best by Kira Peikoff delves into the themes of bioethics, motherhood, and the human desire to overcome nature's limitations. A woman named Claire Abrams, haunted by the loss of her son due to a genetic mutation she carried, seeks redemption and a second chance at motherhood. ⬇️

Definitely a fast paced thriller told from three POVs. Had a few twists that came about in ways I didn‘t see coming right away that I enjoyed. 3.5⭐️

⭐⭐⭐⭐
Interesting and unique premise. I think the story was well developed most of the way through. Where it fell apart for me a little was the actions of the antagonist - I think I just expected a teensy bit more psychological warfare. Overall a good read, though.

The science in this is very palatable even if you're not usually into science fiction or medical thrillers. It felt like the author knew something about DNA manipulating and the like. There are a few cheesy/over the top moments and at least one bout of crazy, maybe a few...but it all comes together in the end, in one entertaining package. It doesn't hurt that this is on the Audible Plus either.

I loved this book so much! PICK IT UP AND READ IT ASAP

OBSESSED WITH THIS BOOK THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT

I‘m on stay-cay until Thursday, so I figured I‘d do nothing productive today until I finished this read! Well-written, and although a tad out-of-the-box at times, still a great thriller!

Next read!

This is a fast-paced read - sort of a medically inspired Fatal Attraction. Told through multiple perspectives this book moves quickly and it‘s never boring. But the plot crosses the line into sheer incredulity. The characters don‘t feel quite realistic either. Still it‘s entertaining enough! Thanks, #NetGalley!

I really enjoyed this book. If you are a fan of Robin Cook you will love this book.

Oooooooooo...loving this so far! #arc #netgalley

Claire is a mother who suffered through the unimaginable - the loss of her son. Even worse, it was because of a fatal gene she passed on to him.

When she and her husband are ready to try again, Claire seeks the help of a doctor willing to put the odds in her favor. What if they could take her good genes and mix them with another woman, giving the child one father but two mothers, but ensuring a healthy baby?

So intriguing and worth reading!
