An insanely gripping read — I literally could not put it down from the first moment I started reading. A story about some of the ugliest challenges that come with motherhood. We follow our narrator, Blythe, as she grapples with becoming a mother and watching her family fall apart while everyone around her refuses to understand her. Would rate this five stars, but I felt legitimately ill at some points out of sheer indignation.
