Wow. This book.
I got sucked in. It was disturbing, but so good.
I loved the short chapters and the blunt delivery. That style worked really well for this story, in my opinion. This is the kind of book you won't want to put down. It is creepy, brutally honest, suspenseful and dark...did I mention disturbing?
I absolutely loved the audio book narrator (Marian Ireland). Her delivery was perfect. She had me in a trance while I was listening. I love that.
I recommend this book for those who do NOT have trigger warnings- there are a lot for this book, so you might want to check them out before reading.

I was captivated from the first sentence and didn’t want to stop reading. I want a sequel. I loved being a part of this story and these many generations of flawed men and women and I want to know what happened to Cecilia. I swear each character could have their own stories told they were so fleshed out.

Yawn. This book had a lot of potential but it fell flat in so many ways.
4.5 ⭐️ I was a little bit skeptical going in because of how popular this book is on social media, as well as similarities to other popular novels with a woman/mother protagonist and “heavy” themes of pregnancy…but it’s been like 3 days and I can’t stop thinking about the ending.

The only thing about this novel that thrilled me was returning it to the library.

Whoa....Super twisty and mysterious book about a mother with a daughter who doesn't ever seem quite right. It spans many years and was so beautifully written. Very different from anything I've ready lately. It's really really good! I couldn't put it down ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This one was a gut punch. I couldn’t put it down. I read it in a day and I’m still thinking about it a month later.
