Rezension von coffeedate.with.meAudrain's first book, The Push, was the best book I read in 2025 which is why I thought that the second one would definitely disappoint me, but I was pleasantly surprised. But damn being a mother sounds horrifying
Rezension von Saskia RimatFamiliengeheimnisse unrevealed. viele offene Fragen am Ende. Grundstimmung des Buchs ist "enttäuscht" vom Leben/Ehe/Beziehungen. z.t. sehr negativ und nicht grad promising wenn man selbst 27 ist. Insgesamt gutes Buch!
