The ending was left quite ambiguous, and I'm not sure how I felt about it. I wish it had a bit more conclusion to it that I felt was being built up to. But I still liked it.

‘It had always seemed a bit deceitful to Molly, the way we put our children to bed in soft pajamas, give them milk, read them books, locate their stuffed creatures, tell them that all is well, there's nothing to be scared of, as though sleep isn't one sixteenth of death. When they resist the prospect of sleep, of long dark lonely hours, intuiting that this is indeed a rehearsal for death, we murmur to them, we rub their backs, pretending they will never die. Little do they know that behind our backs we keep our fingers crossed, and that our hearts too thump with anguish when we turn off our bedside lamps.’
‘It was a miracle, the explanation of which she hoped never to learn.’

This was so good, such an interesting concept and executed so so well. Unsettling, thought-provoking, yes. Would definitely love to read more from this author.
