I don‘t know if everyone would see this dysfunctional family drama / mystery as a tribute to unconventional mothering, but I did. The main characters are motherless sisters raised by their grandma. The more responsible sister mothers the other, plus is a single mom to a 4-year-old. It‘s full of heart but also a gripping thriller.

BarbaraTheBibliophage @vivastory Definitely give it a go! 3y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I agree—too many layers of story to be a straight thriller. I did love that the culprit wasn‘t super obvious to me. 🤗 3y

Among the Ten Thousand Things: A Novel | Julia Pierpont

"...liking her father required treason against her mother."
I had to put the book down for a few minutes and reflect on this. It perfectly describes how I felt when I was the same age as this character, and my own father cheated on my mother. #closetohome
