This book took me a minute to get into. I think it definitely would resonate more with mother's, but once it got going it was so good. The characters were flawed and frustrating at times, but came across very realistic. If you love a good generational trauma book this one is definitely for you 🤣. I also always love the use of stories and fairy tales to tell a story within a story, and this one did that very well. It was much sadder than expected but the ending made it all worth it. Definitely recommend if you're wanting something that'll make you tear up a bit.
