Mother Tongue by Julie Mayhew
4.0
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This in no way changes my opinions, and all of the words below are my own.
3.5 stars
I'm not entirely sure what to say about this book. It is a heartwrenching story and full of lots of small and large disasters that people, unfortunately, have to face in the real world. However, I felt little to no connection to the main character. The writing was fine, it was a short and easy read, and as I said the story itself was quite well done. Yet it felt unremarkable, and not very memorable.
With all that said maybe I'm just the wrong audience for this book, or read it with the wrong mindset. It jumped between so many different things in the main characters life and yet none fully hit home for me, despite obviously being something that would for others. So I'm going to leave this review short, and say that I would recommend it to others but maybe those with more connection to the story.
