Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Just like mother really surprised me with the way it had me invested. While I guessed early on who was the "bad guy" in this story, there was still so many horrifying things that I couldn't have even guessed at. This book really takes a common horror trope of women's fertility and motherhood and twisted it on it's head. Often in this topic of horror, the people taking advantage of women are men- but in this instance, the women turn on women, which made it all the more interesting. Maeve's naivety at times was unbelievable and frustrating, though, and this took a bit away from the story. It felt as though she never really fought to have anything different happen to her, which was odd to me.
