I think Spiotta got tired of her own main character and didn't know how to end the book...
I was glad to have it end.

Effective interweaving of mother/daughter/growth/mortality themes.
Not good. Went nowhere. Overly precious depiction of motherhood. Nonsensical faux historical back data inserted near the end. No resolution. No point. I’m sorry I didn’t put it down before finishing.
Picked this up from my local library. The main character, a wife and mother, faces a breaking point as Trump gets elected and she begins the menopause. The book then follows her journey as she pivots her life.

Leider ist dieses Buch bei dem Versuch "woke" zu sein, gescheitert.
