A review by sandeestarlite
Before Mars by Emma Newman
4.0
3.5 stars. Ms Newman builds really cool worlds, where the earth is run by GovCorps and many people are owned in contracts, and you can be sent to Mars to paint pictures to make another man even more rich. But what happens when you arrive and it all looks a little too familiar? The plausibility of how the last 1/4 of the book unfolds and explains is really well done.
I'm torn by the part where the main character deals with postpartum depression and her perceived shortfalls as a mother and spouse. On the one hand it's nice to see it talked about. On the other hand, she navel-gazes on and on and on.
