This book was simultaneously mundane and tense - I read it an an afternoon. It might be a more interesting and meaningful read to a parent, particularly a parent who birthed and breastfed their children. For me it was just kind of boring and gross to read about the narrator lactating every other page.

I really enjoyed this read. It was super unsettling, especially as someone with a young child. I was pretty sucked in and it was a quick read for me.
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.
