The Mothers by Brit Bennett
2.0
I DNF'd at 50%, and this book reminded me so much of another book I didn't enjoy, Jodi Picoult's A Spark of Light, which also deals with the topic of abortion and how it affects lives. This book wasn't entirely all about that (or pro-life or pro-choice specifically just like ASOL), but focuses on mothers, or the lack therof.
I don't know, I just really think these topics and this literary fiction style is the bane of my existence. I'm just not a huge fan of the writing style with these three teenagers that we are following, and I don't care about them at all.
The Mothers is really a coming-of-age journey for the three teenagers Nadia, Aubrey and Luke. Nadia and Aubrey are besties, and Luke is the one who knocked-up Nadia.
Maybe if I read this physically it would be better? Idk, I was bored from the start and kept hoping it would get better. These topics and style of writing may just not be for me. I loved the small town, Black community feel, but when we focused on the teenagers I was bored as hell.
