Generational trauma, grief, motherhood anxiety, postpartum, and more.
This was a very dark exploration of motherhood and all of the things listed above. While I found it interesting and stressful at times, the ending felt incomplete - not in a mind-blowing cliffhanger way.
Definitely don't recommend reading this if you're a mother or plan to be one any time soon.
