The Lost Daughter

Propulsive of interior, she is the other side of the same Cusk coin, I think, and altogether divine for it.

I picked this up after I came across the trailer in a LitHub Newsletter. I haven't read anything in a loooong time so regardless of whether I liked it or not, it at least made me read something. the protagonist isn't likable but I understand what she's going through. Children are a lifelong commitment, nothing else is. You can get out of a course, a job, a relationship, whatever, but once you have a child there's no turning back. There were so many instances in the book where you can feel the anguish of the narrator. While I understand, and it's apparent, that the narrator is unlikable, she also is expected to be a certain way and it is this expectation, which leads to her unpleasantness.

So anyway, I really liked the book AND the trailer.
