Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tessa at Wishful Endings which
spotlights and discusses forthcoming books that bloggers are looking
forward to reading. Generally it's about books that haven't been
released yet. This meme is based on Waiting on Wednesday, formerly hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
Publisher: St. Martin's Press
Publication Date: July 17, 2018
From Goodreads:
Sweetness can be deceptive.
Meet Hanna.
She’s the sweet-but-silent angel in the adoring eyes of her Daddy. He’s the only person who understands her, and all Hanna wants is to live happily ever after with him. But Mommy stands in her way, and she’ll try any trick she can think of to get rid of her. Ideally for good.
Meet Suzette.
She loves her daughter, really, but after years of expulsions and strained home schooling, her precarious health and sanity are weakening day by day. As Hanna’s tricks become increasingly sophisticated, and Suzette's husband remains blind to the failing family dynamics, Suzette starts to fear that there’s something seriously wrong, and that maybe home isn’t the best place for their baby girl after all.

My thoughts: I'm fascinated by stories in which a child comes between parents. This one sounds like it fits the bill in a very unique way, and Hanna sounds like a master manipulator.
