This is the book I will be telling everyone is my sll time favorite. Same goes for the author who is now one of my favorites and it goes without saying I will be reading everything Ainsley puts out, even if it is her grocery list.
Long story short-it is about Dani, normal woman, who is struggling to find herself after giving birth to Lotte. It is about Clark, normal man, husband, creature with pain. It is about Dani’s friends, normal women and their normal life. Until Dani befriends Renata, owner of a company that is on paper a religious place, but is very much, actually not.
Cultish vibes, thoughts on motherhood, beautiful writing and unpredictable ending- I couldn’t ask for more.

Bored.
Don’t care about MC. Can’t even remember her name. Nothings happening. There’s no hook.

This was fine.
I found a lot of the monologuing about motherhood to be interesting.
But that’s about it.
I didn’t love the idea that her freedom relies on sex work, it feels like another tired trope of sex work “saving” a woman from feeling mundane. Sex work is work, but the way it was used as a device in this book was bizarre.
Also, there was no actual drama or issue in the end.
