I’ll start with the good stuff. I liked the parts of the book when it felt like Nora was in my head, saying things I’ve only muttered to myself or complained about with other moms. It’s actually normal to think these things?? It must be, if a complete stranger has the exact same thoughts that I’ve rarely spoken aloud. Hmmm, interesting. 

However, I mostly did not enjoy this book. It was too slow paced for my liking, it almost felt like homework to finish it. The end moved along much faster, which was great! I just wish it would’ve happened earlier in the book, you know, before I wasted more of my precious “mom time” on it.
