Loved the setup (amazing) and the execution (well-done!) of this (sort-of?) thriller about motherhood - really, parenthood, I would say.

Some really interesting concepts here, almost 4 stars, but felt a little unfinished to me. I'd definitely read more from this author!

Fast-paced and slightly creepy. Repetitive, just like early motherhood.
