I am so emotionally drained but also think I’ll be up all night thinking about this book. The fear I have of becoming like the mothers in this book and the childhood trauma I have with my own mother had me gripping this book, reading for hours on end. My only thing is I thought the climax of the book would be something really serious happening, but I still loved the heart plummeting feeling of those last few pages. I felt my heart hammering through a lot of the book… wow wow wow
