I really enjoyed this but I don't think I expected it to wrap things up so neatly at the end. For a book about the messiness and carnal destruction of motherhood, it really tied things up in a profit-driven little bow at the end. I also took issue with the sentence that claims rabbit ears have bones... they don't. Ears are cartilage.
I did really enjoy the visceral language, however, and the spectacle of the whole story kept me enthralled.
