Many thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for gifting me a digital ARC of this novel by Rachel Eve Moulton. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Lucia didn't have a good relationship with her own mother, so she was worried and stressed throughout her first two pregnancies. But everything went well and she has two wonderful little boys. Her third pregnancy was easy and she had none of the same fears. Until she was born and she just knew her baby girl was a monster.
This is a wild ride and certainly won't be for everyone. But if you love dark humor with a side of horror, this look at motherhood, mother/daughter relationships, and generational trauma just might be for you. I'm not sure I've read anything else like this before and I read a lot! It's short and unhinged in a good way, and I couldn't look away.
