I like what this book was trying to do, but it didn’t land for me. I also don’t think I’m the intended audience, and this might hit differently for mothers and/or wives in middle age.

I liked the discussion of what life is like for women who check the “normal” life boxes (marriage, motherhood, etc) but find themselves dissatisfied. I think we need more space/community around this concept.

I also categorize this book in the unhinged woman genre, which I typically love. The characters just didn’t feel real to me. I wasn’t rooting for this woman or her boring husband.
