The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan

4.0

This was one of the hardest books I’ve ever read. Dystopian isn’t really my genre, and I didn’t realize this was Dystopian until I started reading it. Mothers are judged so harshly in our society and this novel takes that and stretches it out in such a way that had me gasping and crying at times. My heart hurts for Frida and the rest of the mothers who were sent to The School For Good Mothers and were held to impossibly high standards. I was all set to give this 5 stars because I could not put it down and it had me feeling all the feels, but I ended up hating the ending. I feel the author could have done a little more to end it a bit more tidily.
