What an absolute nothingburger of a book. I thought perhaps the author was gearing up for some sort of parallel examination of how Mary Jane provided the steady, quiet labor of a housewife in contrast to her bohemian employers, but instead her mom just dampens her own judgement once Mrs. Cohn starts behaving more like she believes she should, and that’s considered a melding of the worlds. Sexism, racism, antisemitism - and what a lot of explicit antisemitism there was! - and general judgmental hatred (couched in white suburban churchgoing) went unaddressed. Very White “I noted racism, which is all the healing needed� nonsense. Woof. Even fake versions of Cher deserve better!

1.5 stars if I could, because it was� pleasant. Dull, but pleasant. Also: why wasn’t this marketed as YA?
