The cover of this novel first piqued my interest and the publisher's teaser interested me further. Unfortunately, this one fell flat for me. I didn't like a single one of the characters as a whole, although in bits and pieces there were redeeming aspects. The story was told in multiple timelines which is fine, but the contemporary timeline frustrated me. Kudos to the author for tackling some tough stigmas throughout and painting the stark and dark realities of living with antepartum/postpartum mental health issues. For an honest review, I'd have to say I have mixed feelings on the novel as a whole. It was often difficult to read through, the cadence was off for me, but the storyline was important and heartbreaking and well-done at the same time. I will give it a mid-level rating but don't say it was poorly done, it just didn't hit all the high points for me.
