Love love love the way Ainslie Hogarth writes. She has such a way of accelerating a scene with a character’s inner monologue and psyche that’s so exciting. The words flew off the page for me, it’s rare that something reads as easily as this did for me. The story was engaging and mysterious- could’ve been longer but since this comes out fairly recently to her last novel, I enjoyed this little morsel from her mind. I would recommend this to anyone who loves stories about chaotic women, redefining feminists, or if you just like good writing. I would read anything Hogarth writes.

I don't understand the hate I see in the reviews for this book. The writing is excellent, the characters strong and well defined. Yea, the overall idea is bizarre but that's what makes it so unique.

This just kinda went nowhere. I considered DNF’ing several times but there was enough that kept me going, and in the end it did not pay off. I really liked Motherthing, but this one wasn’t for me. 

The audiobook was good and I don’t think I would have finished this if I read it physically.
