Wow....
First off, this story confirms my fear of having children. Just the thought of being a parent....I could NEVER. This pulled me in from the start and the short chapters really make you want to hurry to see what will happen next. The story spans several generations between mother and daughter, Blythe can’t tell if her daughter truly is evil or if she’s making it up in her head.

I did the audiobook version and it was really well done. But this was One of the darkest books I’ve ever read. I couldn’t stop listening but I don’t think I’d recommend it to anyone.

This book is advertised as a thriller, but it didn’t feel like it. I kept waiting for something to happen and nothing really did. The writing style is something I’m not used to and I’m not sure if I liked it. I did not enjoy the ending either.
Overall, I was not hooked onto this book like most other thrillers but I was still interested enough to keep reading. The book offered a unique perspective of motherhood that sometimes I found myself relating to the main character, as I am in a point in my life where I can’t decide if I want kids. This book really made me think about how our parents play such a huge role in who we end up becoming.

kind of loved the portrayal of a mother who did not want to be a mother, who did not feel connected to her child. as someone who fears motherhood and pregnancy the way some people fear death, that really resonated with me
but this book left me feeling frustrated. the end was too abrupt, maybe? unsatisfying?or maybe i just fucking hated fox and violet so much that it influenced my experience too much regardless, good read
