1 word to describe this book:
⚡️ Arresting

2 kinds of readers who’d enjoy this novel:
⚡️Mothers and/or caregivers

3 things I loved about this book:
⚡️McBrayer’s ability to let the reader sink into main character, Merit’s, psyche felt so true for me as a mother
⚡️The dynamic between Merit and Jane was unlike anything I’ve read in current fiction
⚡️The ending! It was unpredictable, yet totally plausible and left me feeling quite satisfied as a reader
