Bright Burning Things by Lisa Harding
4.0

Read with Jenna: December 2021
PopSugar 2018 reading challenge #27

Book with alcoholic mothers are often a challenge, because you want to have empathy but also want to smack the woman and tell her to get it together. I have to say, did not love this character and ended up not having much empathy towards her (maybe its just me, but she was completely unlikable and I just never saw her getting it together for any length of time). I spent most of this novel worrying about her son. Good realism though on the part of the author.
