The beginning wasn’t really grabbing me, but about an hour in, I couldn’t stop listening. I like to predict the next move, but in this book I was wrong on more than one point. Very surprising, great at holding my attention.

Some of the French words are mispronounced. Maybe even all. But the beauty of not speaking it, is that it doesn't bother me. The story itself is interesting. There are descriptions that made me tear up - especially since i am a parent of a young girl. I wanted to finish it and know what happened.

While some of the scenarios are not too realistic (super helpful & understanding spouses that don't get upset?) the book is quite good in showing that side of motherhood that's still somewhat taboo. Postpartum depression needs to be discussed & normalized so that those mothers can be who they thought they'd be. The voice actor performing Maryanne's part was exceptionally good.
I cried a bit, I chuckled. Overall, I'm glad I came across this title.

It is slow to get going. The first few chapters are okay. But later everything gets real & if you're a parent or a human with a heart, be ready to hurt. The narrator gives a very good performance.
