I started listening to this on audiobook twice and was finding it hard to be absorbed into the story. I finally admitted defeat, and rather than marking it as DNF, I pulled out my physical copy that had been gathering dust on my tbr cart. And then devoured it in about a day and a half.

And wow am I glad I gave this the chance it deserved to pull me in. The characters' lives wove together in a way that wasn't distracting, but was stressful and concerning. The parallels drawn between mothers of every form were captivating and compelling.

I also think this is going to be a book I read again, pending admission to the mom club one day.
