The first half of this started off stronger for me than the second half. I started to lose some steam on this around the midpoint. It was interesting and very strange to read. I liked the concept early on but again, at about midpoint, it just became a bit overwhelming for me and I didn’t appreciate the concept as much. I appreciated how this book referenced the struggles/violence of women and motherhood. This wasn’t too long of a book but it felt long to me when I was reading it. I think the overload of her transformation ultimately wasn’t for me. I’m still glad that I read this, but it wasn’t my cup of tea. If it was a bit more toned down, I think I would’ve appreciated this more.
