This collection was one of my best reads this year. Every story is a perfect gem, illuminating motherhood (and womanhood) from a new, rich, and compelling angle. I couldn't put the book down. The stories land at exactly the right place; no word is wasted here, no comma. I'll often find myself thinking of this text's sharp insights as I move through my day-to-day life. These words stuck with me like glue.
I even shared this book with my own mother, who has an EXCRUCIATINGLY high bar for fiction. (As in: She put "Normal People" down after reading two pages, proclaiming the dialogue "boring.") And SHE LOVED IT!! So if that isn't a testament to this work, I don't know what is. Five stars!
