The Mom Group by Jennifer A. Jones
5.0
The Mom Group is literary fiction that may also be classified as women’s fiction. It is told in first person POV which limits us to the emotions of the main character…all the emotions. We all have parts of ourself that we like more than other parts and that is true of our main character.
At times I sat on the sidelines while she made some incredibly rash decisions. I wanted to be the bff asking her if that is really what she wanted to do. But I always emphasized with her. And the character growth was exceptional.
The plot was slow at times, we are following someone’s day to day live which is not always live action. Yet even in the slower parts I was fully vested. Oh the gaslighting. I had to read through the end to see what was happening hoping she didn’t get played by the author.
While all might not be well…the ending was perfect. It made sense and was kind of cathartic to be honest.
I stick a lot to sci-fi and fantasy but it is nice to break away and this was an exceptional break from my own reading routine. I related to the main character a lot more than I expected. I had a similar journey as hers for very different reasons and I appreciated watching her grow. I highly recommend The Mom Group. Go check it out!
