emotional reflective tense medium-paced
challenging emotional medium-paced

Honestly, this wasn’t what I expected… It was a read that I went into thinking it was just a typical family drama but soon realized it was a lot more than that. This book dealt with childhood trauma and explored its lasting effects. Very thought provoking.

I don’t have a big opinion about this book. It was very character driven but the main character felt really normal. Her thought patterns felt like anyone could have them. And her troubles and fears also felt realistic. 

They it was written was easy enough to get into. And I don’t think I have anything else to say. It was okay, well written but the plot wasn’t anything outstanding. 

Sleep is a beautifully written, emotionally novel about the lasting impact of childhood, the complexities of motherhood, and the quiet strength it takes to reclaim your life. Weaving past and present into a powerful story that lingers long after the last page. A deeply human, unforgettable read, at least one I'll be thinking about for a long time.
