i wanted an easy, beach read with all the summer vibes and this book delivered it well. i do think the audience is geared towards older women, specifically women experiencing menopause. i couldn’t relate to Rocky all that much , our FMC, because i haven’t reached that part of life yet. understandably though, change is hard and this book makes it apparent.

Absolutely not what I expected. And absolutely lovely anyway, a perfect mix of emotion and humor, delicately balanced in a reminder to be present -- especially as a mother -- honest, and ask for help.

Sandwich has a LOT. In a way super lovely and an ode to mothers and women and love. Also hard and ugly and uncomfortable and utterly sad. I think most women will both feel seen and relieved, but also stressed and depressed. It's a really strange book to try and describe. Definitely one I will be thinking about for a while... It could be super triggering; there is a lot about all aspects of the female reproductive system.
