What a tangled web we weave. I was thrilled from the first page to the last, captured by the tale of a family whose only wish is to have a happy and healthy child. Claire is a mother who would do anything not to pass on her genetic disorder to her child. Her first child Colton passed away from a rare disease, and she thought she’d never be able to have children again. After meeting innovative genetic specialists, Rob Nash and his assistant Jillian, they all embark on a risky experiment to alter Claire’s genes to produce a healthy child.

The story flashes to different perspectives, and you learn more and more about what Claire had to do to get her perfect child. The story is full of challenges and suspense and is thrilling until the very end. Some of the characters were the type you love to hate, and I changed my mind about the book every few chapters. I loved the wrap-up end the end of the book, but I did feel that after such a suspenseful and interesting story, it ended abruptly with everything just happening to work out for the characters. Of course, this is fiction, so I can understand that there would be a happily ever after.

I was first attracted to Mother Knows Best from the gorgeous cover art. I’m so thankful to Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books that I had the chance to read and review this book. It was an exciting read that I couldn’t put down until the very last page!
