  Book Blurb: A smart romantic comedy about mothers and daughters, and the hilarious consequences of a white lie. Crystal has trouble saying no to her lonely, single mother. For 25 years, it wasn't a problem. But when one small mistake leaves Crystal jilted, homeless and unemployed, she has to move back in with the one person who caused it all: her mother. Soon Crystal is sucked into her mother's vortex, partying with boomers and hawking misshapen marshmallows. Desperate for some independence, she hatches a foolproof plan: get an experimental android to play her mom's "perfect" boyfriend. It's only a matter of time before her mom finds out, and Crystal will never live down the hilarious and disastrous consequences. Written in an addicting, fast-paced format, Mom's Perfect Boyfriend is a humorous yet deeply honest portrayal about the complicated friendship between mothers and daughters. Because sometimes the people we least want to rely on are those who can help us the most. My thoughts: This is the second book featuring a robot boyfirend I've read recently, so it seems AI is the flavour of the month. Mom's perfect boyfirend doesn't go into too much engineering detail. Its focus is on mother-daughter relationships and thepitfalls of trying to please overly demanding parents. Short and lighthearted, it is extremely entertaining, and will definitely make a perfect summer read. I loved the form - mostly e-mails, chat, text messages and diary entries. The book was fast-paced and flowed so nicely that I never had a dull moment reading it. Thank you to Edelweiss and Galbadia Pressfor the ARC provided in exchange for an honest opinion.
