The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan

3.0

I loved the concept for this book. It's very Handmaid's Tale-esque, and the idea of artificial children is so creepy and interesting. However, I think this book fell short of my expectations. I never felt connected to Frida, and I never felt like I should be rooting for her to get her daughter back. The ending was also super confusing and didn't have a resolution at all. I know that was probably a conscious choice, but I still would've liked more of a resolution for Tucker, Gust, Susanna, and the other characters.
