The premise drew me in, it's a chilling dystopia where mothers are held to impossible standards and judged for everything they do. There's so much tension, despair, and gaslighting that it makes you question your own perceptions of what being a good mother means.  As much as that reeled me in, the book felt repeatitive and drawn out. There were also elements of world building that seemed unfinished. It was a good book, but had potential to better.
