Mother is somewhat unlikeable as a protagonist at first, but the writing makes you empathise with her especially if you're a woman or femme-presenting. I picked this up because I'm a part of the therian community, so I understand these feral descriptions and animal thoughts.
Razor sharp, witty, thoughtful writing that's more realistic and brutal than most people would like to admit their thoughts are similar to. Rachel Yoder writes female rage and anger and thoughts well. It's like someone took a chunk of my psyche and splattered it on a plate for me to ogle at. Her writing style isn't exactly approachable or easy to digest for everyone, but it's prickly enough that I thoroughly enjoy it! Can't recommend this book enough, happy to start off my 2024 with this as one of my first few books!!
