I haven’t read a book this compelling in a long time. It utterly broke my heart and while each twist and turn made sense, I still didn’t see them coming. 

Also, each character was drawn so well. They weren’t just caricatures but actual, real people making good or bad choices. 

good! quick listen but good story telling

This novel is excellent. I enjoyed it so much that I finished in 6 days. I understand the hype about this author. She’s so good.

3.5! I had this in my audiobook rotation. The premise of this book is fantastic. The author really explores so many topics in a nuanced yet fleshed out way. I think the overall narration style wasn’t for me, however. A lot of back stories and tbh I didn’t actually care about the kids in the story. Overall I think this book was very entertaining and I was definitely yelling “you BITCH” at certain points (if you know you know). I recommend, just don’t think I’m a huge fan of books that almost read as movies? If that makes sense?

emotionally tumultuous read for someone who thinks about motherhood constantly… it’s left me with a lot to think about and no one to talk to about it
