Well I definitely did NOT see the ending coming. This book was outside my comfort zone (speculative fiction is not my jam), but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was a really clever exploration of PPMD and the idea of postpartum psychosis. What if a psychotic break could be manifest?

This book is beautifully written! Williams had me hooked from the very beginning and did an excellent job of unwinding the story with beautiful, flowy language. I can't wait to reread this knowing the ending to see what hints I can pick up on that I missed the first time. 

If you were let down by Grady Hendrix's The Final Girls Support Grpup but loved the premise, this book will absolutely redeem it for you.
