The Mothers by Brit Bennett

4.0

Well the last line was (I think unintentionally?) creepy, but otherwise I thought this book was great. A poignant meditation on mothers - what it means to be one, to have one, and even just to act like one. The fact that motherhood can come before you're ready for it and your mother can disappoint you but leave you with surrogate ones.
Dramatic, intense, and very touching.
