THE DETAILS✎
❐ NOT THE STORY I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE❐ MORE PSYCHOLOGICAL THAN SCIENCE FICTION❐ DABBLES IN ALTERNATE/PARALLEL UNIVERSES❐ MOTHERHOOD BLUES❐ LENGTH OF AUDIO ➯ 6 HOURS, 20 MINUTES❐ I LISTENED ON LIBBY THROUGH MY LIBRARY
I was completely flipping lost with this book and if it wasn't for the Reader Q & A section on Goodreads...I would have gone on being totally confused. After reading it, I felt like I had a little more clarity on it...especially the weird ending. This is one of those stories that is really much deeper than what the synopsis leads you to believe...and I wanted something or thought I was getting a mystery suffused in science fiction. In reality, it is much more psychological and dwells on themes of the overwhelmingness of motherhood. Maybe, if I had gone into this book knowing what it was...I could have enjoyed it more...I guess I'll never know???
