Dearest by Jacquie Walters
4.0

Time for brutal honesty: I don't typically like the "mother dealing with a newborn" plot because kids and motherhood isn't my jam, but this one I got into more because it focused on the downsides of being a mom. Maybe a bit of schadenfreude there??

The twist made me audibly gasp and yell, and I read this all in one day! There were a few plot points that weren't fully explained or things that didn't make sense, but overall it was written well which made it easy to read and super easy to follow.

It might be tough for mothers to read since there's a lot of scenes and descriptions of child abuse.
