"Mother of All Secrets" is a gripping psychological thriller that delves deep into the challenges of new motherhood while weaving a complex web of secrets and suspense. The author brilliantly captures the overwhelming emotions and struggles of a first-time mother, making the protagonist's journey both relatable and intense. The mystery surrounding the disappearance of a support group leader adds layers of tension and keeps the pages turning. While the pacing is generally good, some parts feel slightly overwhelming, mirroring the protagonist's state of mind.

3.5 rounded down.Honestly, it bothered me that Jenn kept alluded to a “terrible secret” and that secret ended up being her getting r**ed. The fact that it was treated as a dirty secret and not something she was the victim of really bothers me.
Other than that it was a decent and quick read.
