This book did take me a min. to get through. I was neither good nor bad. I think the mid to end of the book picked up for me. I can say that how housewives were treated by their husbands in this book had me ready to go through the book and help them out!! I like how a group of women, especially one in particular, came together to save the day. It’s messed up what happens along the way though.

An entertaining story centered around southern housewives and how far they will go to protect their children. The POV being a SAHM was refreshing, and I liked how it highlights the experiences of mothers in a traditional southern community. I enjoyed the story, even though the body horror was a bit much for my taste at times. I definitely plan to read more books by him.
