As someone who is currently pregnant and has done A LOT of work on their mental health, Abby's character was 1000% relatable. I think this book touches on a lot on the definition of "motherhood" while showcasing a wide variety of relationships that anyone can relate to. This is one of the better "unreliable narrators" that I've been exposed to in awhile and I loved the rollercoaster that Hogarth took us on in her writing.
