Maybe having a few enemies on the school run means you're doing something right...
Florence knows all about failure. After a dismal end to her 2000s girlband career, sheโs moping around West London, single, broke and unfulfilled. The only things sheโs proud of are her increasingly elaborate nail art choices โ and her ten-year-old son, Dylan.
But when Alfie Risby, Dylan's bitter class rival and the child heir to a frozen foods empire, mysteriously vanishes on a school trip, Dylan becomes a prime suspect. Florence has to get her act together, find the missing boy and clear her sonโs name or risk losing him forever. The only problem? She doesnโt have any detective skills, sheโs not exactly popular at the school gates and sheโs just found Alfieโs backpack hidden under Dylanโs bed...
All the Other Mothers Hate Me is an irresistibly witty novel about fitting in, starting over and the lengths weโll go to for the people we love.
