This felt like an in-your-face diatribe by all the people I follow on Instagram who rightfully preach about the invisible labor of motherhood. And while I agreed and resonated with so much Nora complains about, it felt exhausting to listen to on audio. I was very annoyed with her husband but also with Nora throughout the whole book. The between-chapters online posts with comments were all that I hate about the internet, so I didn’t feel that added to the book at all. Overall this left a bad taste in my mouth and I was ready for it to be over, didn’t really care what happened to Nora.
