When Imogene runs into a man at a coffee shop that her mother previously deemed ';perfect,' she knows exactly what she needs to do to win back her mother's affection: marry him. There's only one small problemhe already has a wife and daughter. As Imogene inserts herself into this man's family with the intent to tear it apart, she's certain her mother will finally recognize her efforts and allow her to come back home. So why isn't her mother responding to any of her letters? How far will Imogene go to please her mother dearest?

'Clever, original, and so addictive it should come with a warning. Unique and unforgettable, I loved this book' ALICE FEENEY

Imogene always wanted her freedom from her mother, and now she has it.

Mother Dearest, I am still trying to sift through the events of last night. It all feels very surreal. When I woke up this morning, I hoped it was a dream. I'd even accept it as a nightmare. But it's not. I'm not with you and that alone feels catastrophic. I can't believe we had our first fight!

But the tendrils connecting a mother to her daughter will always run deep.

Freedom is a funny thing. It's something I wanted so badly, but now I'm wondering if what I had with you was better? Is the price of all of this going to be worth it? Do you miss me yet? What you said was hurtful, but I know I deserved it. I'm still processing my departure, it was rather sudden. I hope you know I haven't been planning this.It just happened.

Imogene doesn't know how to handle her mother's estrangement. But then she meets the perfectman, the oneeven her mother would approve of.She just knows that once they get married, her mother will welcome her back with open arms.Except he has a wife and daughter.

As mother always said, a problem is only a problem until you solve it.
