As a girl from Philly, I could personally identify with the stereotypes and challenges mothers faced by your “neighborhood”.
3.5 stars. The book was a well thought out satire on parenting in America. As a mom the book had some heart wrenching elements for me. In part of the book it felt like it moved a little slower than needed. The book really reminded me of a Black Mirror episode.
Meh. I expected this book to be more captivating, a page-turner, and it didn’t do that for me. More of dystopian-like societal read, it was an interesting concept that I just felt missed the mark. It was just reading disappointment after disappointment, which I understand to be the premise to exaggerate the severity of the consequences for Frida. The ending was lackluster and just felt for as short as the book was, the chapters dragged on and was not leaving me eager to turn the page.
Wow. What a story. I can’t begin to express how much this book moved me and changed my mindset on parenting. I’m not a parent and never will be, but the efforts people put in to care for the ones they love are extraordinary. This is a story of resilience.
