The best thing about this book was finishing it. This is not my jam. Nobody is likable no redeeming qualities and a lot of sex and sexual innuendo. Unnecessary the whole book just made me itch.

DNF @ 6%. The harsh language and unflinching inner monologues are not for me.

Characters were intentionally upsetting and not worked. They were either annoying, troublesome, or caused some eye rolls. There were a couple small yet unexpected twists I enjoyed.

Ashley Audrain can write about motherhood like no other: the challenges, the emotions, the thoughts that no mother wants to admit to. Objectively, this is a good book: dark, tense, twisted, with well developed characters. It's just that, having read The Push earlier this year, I can't shake the feeling that it's all a bit repetitive. I'd love to see the author write a book that doesn't revolve around parenthood for once.
