The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan
3.25
challenging dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I have a hard time rating this because it was thought provoking, immersive, and well written, but I don’t ever want to read it again and wouldn’t recommend it to many. It was incredibly bleak, and I’m honestly impressed by Chan’s ability to capture such a hopeless feeling. But it definitely made me think a lot, too.
