Loved the writing style so much — reminded me of Stephanie Danler whom I adore. I did feel the last third of the book dragged a bit. Overall, really resonated with the musings of the main character on why she seeks the attention of men while fears relationships of women. There is also a ferocity and betrayal of motherhood explored that felt quite powerful and real.
