Things about Nightbitch:
-I really, really resonated with the exploration of motherhood. That's the biggest takeaway from reading this. I myself am not a mother, but I still felt the resonance of my mother - both in how I see her, and the similarities between her mothering experience and Nightbitch's (the narrator). In many ways I think this is a brutal sharing of the reality of womanhood in our time and place. There is so much that is passed from mother to daughter, and even if the physical experiences don't match at certain points in time (i.e. a child vs their adult mother), the emotional echoes and cultural weights can feel remarkably similar. At many points, this was emotionally difficult to read because I felt Nightbitch's infuriation and frustration so viscerally. It's a book I want my mother to read, so that she can know I know how she might have felt, and might still feel. *generational motherhood* might be the theme here. v
-I liked the evolution of Jen's character. And Wanda White! It was not lost on me that
-I was surprised at the resolution between Nightbitch and her family.
