Burst by Mary Otis
4.0
Reading about complicated mother / daughter relationships is my MO, so I was really interested in reading this one. The writing was amazing, so I’m looking forward to exploring more of Mary Otis’ work.
This book definitely made me think more about generational trauma and how our desire to have a “normal” and loving relationship with our mothers often times conflicts with our deeper need of escaping a disappointing reality. I know I’ll be thinking about this story for a long time to come.
My only qualm is that it felt a bit slow in some parts which kept me a little disinterested, but overall I am so glad that I read this and am ready to read more from this author!
