Not my typical genre to read. Well written, but not a story I enjoyed.

Wow. This book is an amazing exploration of motherhood and generational trauma. This embodies everything I fear about parenting and pregnancy and failing your children, in a horrific thrilling package. Read this in a single sitting because I had to know what happened and struggle right beside the main character through her devastating life. Amazing.
