Madwoman by Chelsea Baker

This one is definitely a slow burn but also very intense and captivating. I almost quit but the second half saved it. The writing style is different. There were multiple timelines but it wasn’t cleared until you read for a bit and figured it out. I prefer a date before the timelines change. It was written in 2nd person which I really liked! It’s unique and different but gives it a very different feel. 

This is definitely a powerful story about domestic violence, childhood trauma, the strength and healing of a woman with a couple of twists thrown in. It focuses on the dark look of motherhood and the choices we make. It was handled beautifully!

3.5 stars!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
