### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Brilliantly provocative
  

*by B***  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 April 2022*

I thought this was a brilliantly provocative read that really packed a punch. I kept thinking throughout how cathartic it must have been for the author to write. To take the ridiculously impossible expectations society places on mothers and form it into a dystopian curriculum. To voice the self-deprecating inner thoughts of every depressed and exhausted mother in the form of an externally enforced mantra. To bring to life the idea that children are essentially all the same and will respond in uniform ways to the ‘right’ parenting methods by making the practice ‘children’ in the story actual robots.It is painful to read but only because it hits the nail on the head about about the way it is painful to parent in this overwhelming era of social media, information overload and divided opinions. It does what all the best dystopias do: imagines current alarming trends being taken to a (thankfully) fictional extreme.The book is a powerful metaphor for the dehumanising experience that mothering can be when we fail to protect ourselves from the barrage of input telling us we are not enough. To trust our instincts but only when our instincts are the right ones. To be unfailingly selfless but also look after our mental health. To ensure we feel only the correct feelings and are impervious to stress.It is a disturbing, triggering and devastating read, and I think that’s the point. It is also thrilling, clever and oh so readable. I will certainly be recommending this book to others.

    Emotional end
  

*by D***B on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 January 2023*

I really wanted to enjoy this book. I watched it being discussed by Sarah Cox and guests on’Between The Covers’ and thought it would be right up my street.The beginning was strange to me as I wasn’t immediately sure what was happening but then it clicked and I thought we’ll if that’s happening now, this quickly, this early on what in earth is the rest of the book about?The story felt drawn out and repetitive a little from them onwards, and at some points I didn’t feel like the actions or thoughts coming from Frida were realistic to the character I’d previously bought into getting to know?Then very quickly falling back into the book again (making me feel something) I stayed with it one evening into the following day while crying. I could not believe the turn around, it changed my mind again. Maybe because I love children and family I don’t know but I sobbed! And no it wasn’t from relief of it being over.Apart from all this the synopsis says it all really.You’re taken in a journey with Frida like no other you could imagine as it’s not the way the world as we know it works. Harriet (Fridas baby daughter) is taken from her by the authorities when a high court judge deems her an unsuitable mother for leaving her home alone. Harriet goes to live with her father and parter while Frida is literally sent to a school for mothers to learn to be better mothers. Lifelike dolls who respond as programmed are introduced and this is what the story is based around.Bizarre? A little, made me feel though and that is important to me if I’m going to get through a book with a rocky start.

    2.5 Stars
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 February 2024*

2.5 Stars.Not my normal type of thing to read, but it had been on my radar a while when it came up on my Bookbub for 99p!This book is a bit on the nose with its messaging, but I think the message is an important one - the pressure of perfection that mothers have, the judgement, the complexity. Things get interesting once Frida gets to the school, but they soon get a bit repetitive. The sci-fi elements were a nice touch, both creepy and emotional, but I think the book is a bit too long to sustain the boredom of the school and the monotony of the days.There is some horror in here for sure, with the brainwashing and mantras used at the school. The ending took me by surprise and I liked that there was time for decompression near the end of the book.A good read if you like your heavy-handed feminist dystopias.
