This book was everything to me. I had no idea what it was about and it is probably one of the most clever books I’ve read in a long time. Mind you it came out in 2017 so I’m a bit behind (thank you traveling book club)! Each character and their intersecting stories are not only devastating, but they’re oddly hilarious. It’s a book around family and mothers and society standards and trash men. A 1 day read that’ll stick with me for some time
