If the timing of reading this book had been different (i.e. if I wasn’t a new mother myself), perhaps my review would be different. But, woof, this book absolutely transfixed me and had me on a rollercoaster of anger, grief, sadness, and hope. I cannot stop thinking about this book; so, for that, 5 stars.
