I haven't disliked a character this much in a long time. The more I read the more I found myself rolling my eyes at everything the character said and did. A perfect example of white women pushing a very white feminist view of motherhood. The aspect of her turning into a dog was already quite weird, but then also pushing it onto her child was just... no. It is one thing to feel the weight of motherhood taking away your agency and individuality, but it is another to blame it on everyone else around you and being unwilling to take responsibility. I primarily read it due to the adaption that is coming with Amy Adams leading so I hope at least she gives the story some justice in the film.
