marijana 's review for:
The School for Good Mothers
by Jessamine Chan
Really interesting premise, but something got lost in the execution.
I loved the concept, the idea of "bad mothers" getting sent to a retraining facility.
What irked me was how repetitive some of it was. Other things that I would have loved to see more development for, such as how American parenting differs from Chinese parenting, were unfortunately just touched on, as were some of the themes on racism, or fathering vs mothering. Those are ideas I would have loved to read more on.
