A horror novel that begins with post-partum depression and the absolute exhaustion that comes with having a newborn, and then goes off the rails into something pretty wild. Mixed feelings on this one. The early part of the book was very realistic and relateable as someone who dealt with PPD, to the point it was kind of disturbing. It ended up being really convoluted though and I'm not sure the tone of where it went quite matched the early approach to the subject matter. But for a debut it's not bad and it is playing with the horror and joy of early motherhood, generational trauma, and what it feels like to not be able to trust your own brain. I do think this could have gone in a direction that would have been more impactful and disturbing if it didn't go so over the top, but it was fine.
