So far, the book feels meh. Maybe I’ve read too many memoirs or not in a space to enjoy non- fiction like I should.

So far this book is a little boring - mostly because it’s written from a historical angle which is not my favorite genre (cc the Cuba book). Imani still writes pretty sentences though.

This book makes me want to fall in love again.

This book is a huge disappointment. I came in I thinking it was a love story and it’s not 😭 it’s just about four random friends. It’s so boring 😭

I really hate the son - 0/10. And honestly Maggie is a close runner up since she promoted his trash behavior.

Started slow, but I think it’s picking up now. I know we’re only following a day in Maggie and Ira’s lives, but I’m not a fan of them as a couple. I do like how the worst parts of each character are revealed from their own POV - speaks to how our partner reflect back to us our worst selves. Writing style reminds me of Kingsolver.

Almost done. This book isn’t good or bad. It’s just there. I think I may need to read her famous novel to appreciate the text more.

This book feels meh. Every page I read is a reminder of why I have been on a fiction streak. I’m also confused because this book is more of a memoir than a book about her mother.

This book isn’t horrible, but the writing is a huge step down from Handsmaid Tale. I guess it’s hard to keep up with our good sister Margaret.

So far, no one’s touching our racist sis Agatha.

Cute book - lowkey loving it. Too bad she was a racist.

The grandfather chapter was really beautiful. Side note - Trevor is trash. I know they’re kids but him and his father are example 5000 of why dating yt people is not it.

I really like the writing of this book - instantly draws you into the characters world.
