The Mothers by Brit Bennett

emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

I had really high expectations for this after rating The Vanishing Half highly, but it fell a bit flat sadly. Interesting premise, but I think more could have been done maybe? 

Still very excited to read more from Bennett soon hopefully!
