Brit Bennett is such a talent writer that I can’t imagine anything she writes not working for me. But this was so stunning. The way that this book balanced motherhood and pregnancy with a girl who had lost her mother was nothing short of spectacular. This was both a small town drama with incredible gossip and a commentary on womanhood, friendship, love, age,  and motherhood. Wow.
