5.0

I listened to it on audiobook which for me usually means in the car so when I arrive at my destination the book gets paused and I was so riveted it was hard to metaphorically “put it down”. Margot’s life exemplifies all the lack of societal support for children and parents post-childbirth and also illustrates the hypocrisy and selfishness so many display - but somehow manages to be fun and funny while brutally indicting society and most of the people around Margot? It was great. 10/10 would recommend.
