πππI wanted to love this book so much but...it just put me in an awkward position.Idk if the main idea was to advocate for women's mental health by displaying that women also suffer deeply from situations that might seem normal to most people...or maybe the writer was tryna say that women are strong,but it's the world around them that is shitty and that they're allowed to get away with bizarre things they do just because...πππ
I honestly don't know where I was going with this one, unfortunately.
2 stories stick out to me though...& No!
It's not because I enjoyed them so much
It is because these are the 2 stories that I probably hated most from this collection.
β’The one were the mother values work more than her newly born baby's welfare...so much so that she contemplates killing the child on numerous occasions. (LESLEY In therapy)
&
β’The one where the movie director (I think)...kept fishing for stories from the people working for her.And no,she wasn't looking for a fluffy story...she wanted them to remember the most painful memories of their life so that she can use their emotions for her benefit.I was angry at this lady....I personally find such people inconsiderate and evil.I think people should learn to leave people's most intimate memories TF alone
Gosh
Anyways...3 stars for this one.phew!
