Enchantingly real. Reads like an expose on motherhood, on what it means to fail at it. Speaks to how motherhood and womanhood are intertwined; to fail at one is to fail at both. I thought this book was really well executed. I wasn’t really surprised or scared by anything. Except by how beautiful it was. Thoroughly enjoyable!!
