I really wanted this to be like Anxious People, but it wasn’t even remotely close. I guess that’s where I went wrong. I should have DNFed this book so many times. Definitely not a recommended story for a new mom. I kept waiting for the hope to show up, and it was just barely there that I guess it’s fittingly named. But not enough hope for me among so much sadness. There didn’t seem to be a lot of resolution to the sadness. They just wallowed in it, which I guess can happen in real life, but doesn’t make a great story.
