This book is a work of art. Rachel M. Harper’s creation of these characters and all of their complexities is awe-inspiring, and the writing with which she brings them to life is lyrical and stunning.

I received an audiobook copy of The Other Mother by Rachel Harper from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Overall, I found listening to this book to be a bit emotional and thought provoking at times. The various perspectives of the characters allowed for a more three-dimensional look at how the same event affected everyone and the interconnectedness of it all.
However, it was very slow paced, which at times, made it a bit harder to hold my interest. Overall, it was an interesting read, that I recommend looking up the content warning for before reading.
