“Like, have you tried cardio? It’s also a good way to pass the time.”
Don’t you hate it when you feminism so hard you forget women are people? Being a woman is about sex and hating everyone in your life? I think you’re just personally miserable. This book ran out of things to say about 100 pages in. The writing style was compelling, and absolutely the only thing that made me not DNF.

A woman loses herself to motherhood and then struggles to find an identity after moving back to her hometown and becoming a SAHM. In the end, she learns that all she needed to do was communicate with her family/friends.

Quite slow, quite boring at times. When it finally picks up you think there’ll be some sort of mystery to it you get let down.
