I don't know why I liked this book so much - something about the complexity of the characters - they're so real, in their mistakes and beliefs. And the view of women is so interesting - that they are strong and should be more valued - and also that the view of motherhood as a job. But there are some older tendances in this feminism that harkens from the pre-2000s that I can't pinpoint right now since I'm listening to the audiobook. There is something soothing about it though.
