The New Mother by Nora Murphy
3.5
challenging emotional slow-paced
Strong character development: No


Thank you @macmillan.audio @netgalley for a copy of this audiobook. I thought this book did such a great job depicting life of a new mother and dealing postpartum as well. As a new mom in a new home, Natalie is at a loss what to do while her husband is at work and she is struggling not only with motherhood but her career as well. When Paul offers help, I can see why Natalie took it. I remember those days with a new born and how exhausting it was me and my hubby. The story is very slow and it's a lot with Natalie's struggles. The twist of the story for me was predictable and I enjoyed this overall.
