**Netgalley Backlog Day**
Today, I’m excited to share my thoughts on *The Someday Daughter* by Elle O'Clover.
Welcome back to another Friday Netgalley Backlog! In this week’s review, I found *The Someday Daughter* to be a quick and engaging read. The story beautifully captures the nuances of relationships through the lens of a mother-daughter dynamic, exploring themes of motherhood, young adulthood, and personal growth.
We follow Audrey, who is reluctantly forced to spend her summer before starting pre-med on a book tour with her controlling mother. The first half of the book sets the stage, but I found the second half to be more captivating and transformative. I especially appreciated the representation of mental health and how it underlines the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship.
Overall, it’s a poignant tale that resonates with anyone who has navigated the challenges of familial expectations and personal identity.
