I've postponed reviewing this because I can't tell if this is a great book (It's been a while since I devoured a book) or a huge let down. I like following this delusion of the "tradwife" and the book (in event order) was doing a great job showing that gradual slope downwards, but the spiral into the deep end happened without us. I wanted to see this powerful matriarch character lead her family firmly into downfall with her. It's missing that snap, that break, the final push off the edge. We see the end result.
I'm also going to be honest that I don't know a lot about the tradwife communities or the ballerina farm that sounds like inspired a lot of this story. It feels like a lot of research and thinking was done for this book, and the author made a complex character that held my attention.
