Nightbitch

I don't love the cat killing scene (it feels unnecessary until the very end in my opinion) and I think it gets repetitive at times. But overall, I think this is a really WEIRD but interesting take on womanhood and motherhood. Though I'm not a dog/human hybrid, I found myself relating so much to how she sees herself in conjunction with the men in her life.

I think this book will be hard to swallow if you only think of motherhood as a “miracle”. Being a mother, even a stay-at-home mother, is difficult. And mothers are allowed to regret or feel bad about how motherhood affects their freedom and self-expression. It seems simple but mothers who aren't always happy or grateful are seriously shamed. Like ALL the time.
