The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui

emotional reflective sad tense medium-paced

I think this is a really good book on the challenges of family and motherhood, and a really interesting look at a family escaping Vietnam during the war. The art is beautiful and haunting. But I definitely should've read the content warnings on this one lol. While I appreciate that pregnancy and childbirth and motherhood isn't like glorified in this, I also could've done without the 30 pages of graphic pregnancy at the beginning.
