Unfortunately, I am DNF'ing this at 50%. The information feels less than accessible from a reading point of view and is tedious to read. Additionally, there is a hyper-focus on one singular form of mother wound it feels- one that I personally have not experienced. This book is probably great for people whose mother's defaulted them to being their best friend and emotional sponge- however, there was not much for me to relate to in this. With that as well as the tediousness of the writing, I had to DNF. I may come back to this at a later time.

Also- this is nitpicky- I don't even know which book I'm supposed to be reviewing on Goodreads for this as there are several different ones with the same cover and a different cover.

Wow. This book was absolutely fascinating. I think a lot of people will find help and solace in the writing about healing the wounds left by their mothers. I will definitely be purchasing this for the library. Thank you for letting me read it early!
