i finished this book as i got to my destination on the subway and it felt like the universe was present w me. thank you brit bennett for reminding me what it feels like to be completely sucked into a book. but also i wanna fight you bc how could write a debut (!!!) novel this damn good. i think one has got to be my favorite between this and the vanishing half. soooo many good sentences i had to reread bc they were so poignant and made you think.

This was a really interesting exploration of grief and motherhood and what it means to be a mother. I had a little bit of an issue with how abortion was talked about but I understand that this was from a religious point of view.
