A review by booknallnight
Nightbitch by Rachel Yoder
Did not finish book. Stopped at 65%.
I had such high hopes for this one but I couldn't finish it. I DNFd at 60%. This was a buddy read and my friend doesn't like to officially DNF so she skim read the entire 2nd half of this book.
This would have been better as a 10pg short story. I don't mind metaphorical stories but this was way too long, and I could not stand the main character..at all.
All this really was, at least to me and my friend, is a woman bitterly complaining for 200+ pages about being a mother, having to give up her career to be said mother, and having a husband who is basically useless to her.
I get motherhood is tough. I raised 4 kids on my own...so trust me. I get it, but this was just too much. There are plenty of readers who loved this one and I'm happy for them. It just wasn't for me.
I sincerely appreciate Anchor Books for the review copy. While a review wasn't expected, I have offered my opinion and these are my own thoughts.
