The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth

emotional mysterious medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

I was expecting a very different story going into this book, but I’m not necessarily disappointed. While I did feel some reactions to certain things were a little overdone, I thoroughly enjoyed the character development- maybe it wasn’t even “development” but more reveal of a certain characters depth of understanding and empathy when that’s not how most people know her. 
Not exactly a spoiler,  but be warned there is a character who develops a MN disease. As someone who is currently a caregiver for a spouse who has this exact diagnosis, it is always a bit triggering to have it pop up out of the blue so I wanted to let anyone else dealing with that know!
