I think the relationships were beautifully done and this is really a book about mother / daughter relationships and how it shapes us and how it shapes others views on ourselves. Please read my trigger warnings and please check other reviews for any I may have missed because this can be an extremely triggering read. I will say that the things that happen in this book are not for the lighthearted. But it was so frustrating to read through and really added a sense of vulnerability and suspense that I really loved.

She’s the one with the bad childhood after all. No one took into consideration what she was saying or feeling, they all just swept it under the rug. A major theme when it came to the terrible and sinister and mind boggling moments was when no one believed Blythe at all. That whole multigenerational study was my favourite part of this book because it was so real.Īnd since this book is a thriller, I have to talk about the more chilling aspects of this book. This was a dark, twisted, heartbreaking novel about the hardships of motherhood and childhood and how our own experiences shape us. When strange and terrible instances start happening around her daughter, she starts to wonder if there’s really something wrong with the girl or if it’s all in her head. However, as soon as her first child is born, she gets the sense that something is wrong. If you haven’t heard of this very hyped debut, it’s about a new mother adjusting to motherhood and coming to terms with the histories of bad parenting in her own family tree. So much so I gave it my first five stars of 2021. Y’all……where do I even begin? I loved this. Trigger Warnings (highlight to see): Miscarriage, suicide, death, sexual abuse, physical abuse, verbal abuse, self harm
