4.25

picked this up because i thought it would hit and i was totally right. the first third was my favourite simply because of blue mother, she felt so real and filled with comfort. i loved the concept of different coloured mothers, and at particular sections i felt as though i could have written exactly what other characters were thinking simply because of how tangible and familiar they felt. 
i do however hate

that bridget never faced any consequences for secretly planning to have a child, even when explicitly told throughout by her boyfriend he did not want children, and barnaby’s treatment of eva in general

 
i was surprised by just how emotional i felt by the end. my inner child feels healed :(
