really loved this book. it was unflinching and gruesome, yet the final chapter was so hopeful. I read a review for this that said you shouldn't read this if you want to be a mother, and I think that's the mindset that so negatively impacts mothers who are struggling postpartum. there are elements of speculative fiction in this book, but at its roots it's a depiction of postpartum OCD. To claim that this will ruin your idea of motherhood simply rejects the experiences of actual mothers. great book.
