I’d been expecting more of a buildup to the transformation starting rather than starting right in it. Also didn’t love the no-dialogue/quotations writing style, it’s just not for me in any book. I’d been intrigued by the concept of the book but wasn’t a fan of how the author chose to execute it plot-/structure-wise either. I know others love it since it’s a popular one, but it just wasn’t for me.
What a weird book, yet deeply relatable and profound.
I wish this book was novella length and took more liberties. I wanted The Mother to go hog-fucking-wild. And maybe she does later on! But I just couldn't get invested.
Ive read more engaging mumsnet rants. Not naming characters is gimmicky unless the prose is actually strong enough to pull it off.

This was a DNF for me. Quirky for the first quarter, then a slog to halfway and I wasn’t enjoying it so made a rare decision for me not to continue.
A beautifully written book that merges art, comedy, and raw human desire.
