Reviews for Saving Phoebe Murrow: Have You Ever Tried to be the Perfect Mother?

A tale of bad mothers and fragile girls, Herta Feely's latest novel sweeps the reader off her feet and onto a speeding train of a plot. I couldn't put it down. You won't be able to either.
Louise Farmer Smith, author of One Hundred Years of Marriage
Herta Feely masterfully draws us into a domestic world of petty ... Read morehurts that morph into pain... Mothers and daughters beware!
Ellen Bryson, author of The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno
I did not want to put this book down. It left me thinking about it for days after. The characters are well developed and make you think about both sides of the story. It also shows the scary truth about how bullying has changed since the internet begun. As a teacher, it has made me check how to ensure I am educating my pupils on the safety of using the internet
Netgalley reader
Saving Phoebe Murrow explores the motivation that drives people to take alarming steps in order to feed their own misguided agenda until the tension of the parent-teenager relationship is tested to breaking point. The real tragedy is that unless some of them remove their blinkers they will never be able to see what truly matters, or how their actions have the power to make or break others
Little Bookness Lane
This is a Jodi Picoult kind of novel, full of domestic drama and I would recommend it to people who can cope with characters who are sometimes frustrating, sometimes unlikeable but faced with the challenges and complexities of issues we are all confronted by. This is a book to generate discussion and perhaps divide opinions, but never judgement
Bibliomaniac
An addictive rollercoaster of a read to put fear in every parents heart
The Irish Examiner
Any parent of teenage children should read this (...)This book is so readable and so believable. It details the terrible pressures that are placed on children today both by social media and peer pressure. Not only that but it also highlights how well-meaning parents can make things worse or act in terrible ways when they think their children are being criticised. This is a book that I will remember for a long time, I think it sums up the fears that every parent worries about when bringing up their children and I would advocate allowing teenagers to read this and discuss anything in it that they feel may be relevant to them with someone close
Breakaway Reviewers
Telling the story from different points of view, the author explores how a simple disagreement between two mothers dangerously affects the lives of their own children. Inspired by a true story, this is a compelling, dark and thought-provoking novel about the side effects of social media and how cyber bullying is a serious problem, especially among teenagers
Chick Lit Club
I really enjoyed the author's well-paced and detailed writing style and already look forward to Herta Feely's next novel. On the whole, 'Saving Phoebe Murrow' is a compelling contemporary read, perfect for women's fiction fans; an intriguing and well-written story and a read that actually managed to surprised me!
A Spoonful of Happy Endings
I was glued to every page. I was drawn in by all the characters. I highly recommend Saving Phoebe Murrow it's totally unputdownable. I have enjoyed every page of this novel so much that I am certainly going to read Herta Feely's next book
