The Mothers

My absolute least favorite thing to read about is infidelity. However, Brit Bennett could write about all of my least favorite subjects and I would enjoy it. Cheating for any reason makes me feel estranged from a character so I don't know how Bennett did it, but I loved these characters regardless. The only thing that left me wanting, slightly, was the presence of “the mothers.” I wanted them to come in more frequently. When they did come in, if felt disconnected from the story because it was so infrequent. I wanted the church lady gossip and their wild assumptions the whole way. Other than that, this book was fantastic.
