the writting style was very confusing and hard to get into. I would’ve given this book 1 star had I not semi liked the last 50 pages. I just think the writting style was not for me and not having any quotation’s marks and some things not being clear. I get the point the book was trying to make I just think a big part of it for me was the writting

excellent conception (beside the obviouses, the yearning for a guidance in the name of wanda white being one) but suffered from, well, a helicopter mom narration. coddled her readers… a lot, hence very lengthy. nightbitch as a name reads so millennial. but maybe that’s the point, i’m just not the target audience? i have a feeling this is supposed to have mothers saying out loud “tag yourself i am nightbitch doing xyz” and i fear that’s half a generation ahead of me. prose is alright but just something about it feels like a long rant. but is that not motherhood? and these flowery, elaborate words make someone feel understood. so i added half a star for the significance of the message.
also took me ages to get through this. once i switched from physical to electronic i cruised through it fine but this perhaps is a testament to how much of a drag this book is. carmen maria machado i’m so sorry.

I struggled at the beginning of the book to stay interested in the character, but about halfway through, I became so invested in the mind of Nightbitch and the "psychosis" like state she was experiencing due to the loss of her identity after she became a mother. While the metaphor is maybe a little overstated at times, I think it is still really raw in its depiction of parts of the female experience that can carry so much shame.
