The Whispers by Ashley Audrain
4.0

I genuinely don’t know how to rate this. Amazing writing but it’s so damn bleak and unsettling that I question whether I should even recommend it?! Maybe if that’s your cup of tea? Audrain’s debut was similar in tone but this was an entirely new level of disturbing .


Quick thoughts: Liane Moriarty with darker undertones, multiple perspective domestic drama, what it means to be a mother ( the dark and the light side), what it means to be a wife, societal pressures on both

Trigger warnings: pregnancy loss, infidelity
