The Mothers by Brit Bennett

5.0

do you ever read a book and you have to take time to process what to actually think of the book, and when you do realize if you like, love, or dislike the book you’re still left speechless??? yup, that’s me! let me just say that oh my goodness! this...THIS book was amazing! this is my first book reading from bennett & i love her writing. the way she builds up the scenarios of each chapter and the dialogue as a whole is smooth. oh! & of course the character development in this book is outstanding!

each chapter i adored more and more. the story is told from the perspectives of the mothers of the upper room where they discuss and gossip about people in the church. during the chapters we get to read from the perspectives of the main characters, nadia, aubrey, and luke. there are realistic events that happen in each chapter, which is one of the reasons i highly appreciate this book.

there are some trigger warnings, such as abortion, rape, suicide, physical & sexual abuse, and ptsd from injuries; i.e. injuries from sports
