The Shame by Makenna Goodman
4.0
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
The Shame allows readers to jump inside the mind of a homesteading artist mother to experience the constant hamster-wheel of chores, the minutiae of motherhood, and the juxtaposed thoughts regarding art, capitalism, and consumerism? This short novel (160 pages) follows Alma through her daily motions with flashbacks blended in (like uncomfortable faculty dinners) as she tries to decide if she should accept a project that doesn't align with her personal beliefs. However, I found her obsession with an online influencer to be the star storyline. This is a great little slow burn/quick read novel.
