For Mothers’ Day ... tears and thrills (and our book of the month)<br />

Revenge, according to 18-year-old<br />

<strong>May</strong>a, is best served in a teen reality<br />

show on national TV. Where she’ll get<br />

to reject her cheating ex, and meet<br />

the girl with whom he cheated. A<br />

girl who <strong>May</strong>a befriends. But could it<br />

be more than just friendship? Never<br />

Ever Getting Back Together by<br />

Sophie Gonzales (queen of queer<br />

love stories) is all first loves and<br />

teenage girls and hot boys and going<br />

off-script! Hodder Children’s Books<br />

A mother gets her children ready for bed while waiting for her husband to get<br />

home. Little does she realise this will be the last night they’ll spend together<br />

as a family. The next morning, she’s accused of her husband’s murder. Fast<br />

forward a decade and she’s been released. And she’ll stop at nothing to clear<br />

her name and get her children back. The Mother by TM Logan is as thrilling<br />

as his previous titles ... if you haven’t yet read him, you’re missing out. Bonnier •<br />

The last thing Anna needs is a baby. Abandoned, adopted and living hand to<br />

mouth, she never dreamt of having a real family. But when she meets her birth<br />

mother, everything changes - because the same day, she learns she’s going to<br />

be a mother too. Marlene is eccentric, generous with her considerable fortune<br />

and overjoyed to become a grandmother. In Mother’s Day by Abigail Burdess,<br />

Anna is living the dream. But is it her dream, or someone else’s? Now she will<br />

have to decide what she’s willing to sacrifice for a real family, her future, her<br />

freedom, even her unborn child. Headline<br />

It’s simply not a romantic round-up<br />

without Katie Fforde ... One Enchanted<br />

Evening, set in 1964 in a small Dorset<br />

Hotel, is all temperamental chefs and<br />

sparks flying and recipes for disaster,<br />

and love! Penguin, from Exclusive Books<br />

Take a menopausal mum. Add a<br />

sixteen-year-old with secrets.<br />

Throw in an indiscretion or two<br />

and then keep adding<br />

heart breaking hit after hit after hit.<br />

Amazing Grace Adams is just that.<br />

It’s a one-sitting read (you won’t be<br />

able to put this one down) and is,<br />

spoiler alert, a complete tear-jerker.<br />
