The ending was so sad but it also was a bit of a cop out in terms of dealing with the main conflict of the novel. I think the discussion around not wanting to be a mother was good but could have had more nuance and complexity, same thing with Sam and his relationship was his mother
Just generally there was a lot of interesting plot events that could have been explored more, which is a pity

Much heavier than I expected when I picked it up. Explores postpartum depression, abortion, being forced to be a mother in specific situations and what motherhood means.
