nicolesorial's review against another edition

3.5

Interesting, but it felt like Ng created a complex conflict and then couldn't really figure out a good way to solve it. The scattered focus on each character took a while to get used to, but ultimately worked in my opinion. The themes of motherhood interlaced in so many different ways throughout is what saved the book from its own ending, which was very dissatisfying.
