A review by memorymaven
The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan

3.0

This one has me going back and forth because it has the odd distinction of being both annoying and thought-provoking at the same time. If I was rating it solely on whether I liked the writing, the stars probably would have been a 2. But the premise itself, and the story built around it was more like a 4. So that's how I ended up at 3.

I will definitely still be thinking about this book and the commentary it makes on what constitutes a "good" mother, and the gap in expectations of fathers vs. mothers. This would make an excellent discussion book (as long as you can get past the odd writing style...).
