Around page 100 this book really started to hit its stride! It’s a domestic thriller that investigates motherhood and complicated family dynamics and standing up for yourself. But I kept me on my toes and held my attention throughout an entire airplane ride. Each character felt deeply flawed and deeply human which i loved. It’s quite sad at times though and TW for s*xual assualt.
