I felt the middle dragged quite a bit and there were lots of complex politics which I didn't really care about - in the end it was all recapped anyway so it didn't feel so bad that I'd not paid loads of attention. I would have loved to see more of Hester and Devon's relationship developing as that felt like it happened kind of quickly.
Overall a decent read!

The way Dean writes about motherhood, trauma, and dilemma fascinates me. The concept alone is unlike anything I’ve gotten the chance to read, and I really love how devastatingly bittersweet and complex it is. I’d say that a lot of elements of the world of the book eaters resembles Handmaid’s tale, ifykyk.
