I enjoyed the characters more than the storyline. It was a fun read overall. I'm curious as to how to will do in Canada Reads. I did appreciate the themes of motherhood and identity included.
From Novelist:
Themes: Toxic relationships
Storyline: Nonlinear; Intricately plotted; First person narratives
Mood: Menacing; Suspenseful
Quotes:
"All I have to do now, in this new place, is be Jacob's mother. I should have been content with that all along rather than yearning for more, for my own sense of self. "
"Everyone has parts of themselves they're ashamed of, that they hide. Desperate people do desperate things. Not always on purpose. But sometimes."
