Too slow and the story wasn’t going anywhere. I really tried but I just couldn’t get into it. I didn’t wanna force myself to continue it and end up in a slump.

This was a really interesting read. The three intertwining stories were done very well, IMO, and in a totally different fashion from what I expected.
The book dealt in what felt like a very honest fashion with the struggles of motherhood/parenthood, and especially the pressures of our current times on that topic, and the struggles of having to assist in caring for the older generation while raising children. It touched on issues of self-esteem, public opinion/pressure, morality, family, and identity of self versus being part of a family unit.
One thing that surprises me in hindsight is that I feel like I could relate to all of the female characters, despite their very real differences and despite the fact that I'm not a mother myself. There were no villains or heroes, everyone was a very realistic blend of humanity.
If you have any interest in any of these topics, I would pick this up and give it a read.
