Did not finish book. Stopped at 42%.
Kept getting mad at the Dad for how he viewed his daughters as property, lumped them together and just didn’t treat them that great. Too wrapped up in appearances.

This may be a book better physically read because the narrator giving people from California the DEEPEST southern drawl is sending me.

I understand the hype with this. The analysis at motherhood and how women’s lives change while men’s virtually end up unchanged. I’ve felt similar to how nightbitch did when I was forced into being a SAHM because of losing my job and the cost of childcare. Resenting the fact it all fell on me. That my husband was still able to live freely. I understand those moments. But this book also just kinda lacked oomph for me. A good read though.
