Wow, this one hit hard. It’s raw, honest, and kind of uncomfortable in the best way. It dives deep into womanhood, body image, and motherhood, and I kept thinking about the characters long after I finished. Some parts are heavy and emotional, but it’s so real. definitely a book that makes you feel and reflect.
