I had no idea what this book was about when I started it, but from the first page I was held by this eerie feeling in my cut set by the tone of Chan’s writing. A dystopian novel with critical look on the increasingly unattainable expectations of perfection in mothers and the US CPS system’s continuous harm on children, mothers, and whole families. Frida, after leaving her 1 and a half year old home alone for 2 hrs ends up at the School For Good Mothers, where she spends a year away from her kid, participating in intense programming to learn how not to be a bad mom. Chan is thoughtful, criticizing systems of racism and classism through satire and embellishments of the real world. Her writing style matches the feelings and happenings of Frida, making you empathetic to Frida and consequently turning you into a bit of a fuck-the-system Marxist. 
As an international adoptee with years of nannying experience and no interest in having kids, this book was particularly interesting. Do birth mothers who repeatedly fail their child deserve to get their kid taken away? What is the threshold of good mothers and is it getting further away?
Worth all the hype its received and more.
