A very dark look at family and marriage dynamics where even those who try their very hardest to do their best can fail. Stage has an outstanding ability to enter her character's minds and depict the confusion and angst of parents striving to do their best while veering farther and farther off track.

Disappointing ending. Almost wish there was a sequel. Too many loose ends. Big drama and complicated feelings from both Suzette and Hanna kept me hooked and shocked. The book goes back and forth from mother’s to daughter’s pov.

Would be 3 stars, but my bias for the secondary themes of Motherhood, Natalism, and Relationship Equity bump up the rating.

I have read books that have made me uncomfortable, grossed out, fascinated...this book was genuinely terrifying. I was on the edge of my seat to an extent I haven't been in forever. It was amazingly written and the plot was absolutely incredible. I just finished it and I want to read it again.
