Beautiful. Heartbreaking. Wow. Shows how deeply society judges Mothers and demands perfection. This book made me sob, really thought provoking.

Wonderful book!. Loved everything about this book. Unfortunately, I worried for Frida through much of it and even now when I have finished it, I find myself worried. I guess that’s the testament of an excellent book.

Depressing. This was the most awful, unfulfilling, depressing book I've ever read. Psychologically abusive in its entirety and a complete waste of time and money. The only reason I gave it two stars is because the writing is decent.

.. The book, the School for Good mothers was long and frustrating. The dolls were creepy and it left me feeling empty. The School for Good Mothers, the actual program depicted in the book was also too long, too frustrating, unfulfilling and creepy. Maybe that was the point all along.

Sad but worth it. The tension and frustration is always there. Sad to think this could happen even worse to know it does.

Ugggh. Probably one of the worst books that I have read. The whole story could have been told in 6 chapters .

Could not connect. This book just made me…queasy. As a mom of 3 I could connect with feeling overwhelmed & the impossible expectations- self inflicted and external. Yet I could never connect with the the characters, and the lumping together of women who made mistakes and those who abused. I just really disliked this book. Personal opinion

Interesting Concepts. Interesting concept. At first I wasn’t enjoying the story but I soon wanted to read more and more. It never grabbed me emotionally. I felt robotic at times.

Wow.. I just finished and am seriously speechless. What a heartbreaking, insightful story about how society treats mothers. Kudos to the author, this was an absolutely amazing read.

Don’t waist your time. Very long and drawn out and the ending left me wanting to know more. Too dark and depressing to really enjoy.

Breathtaking and Heartbreaking. Superb writing style …. Such Realistic descriptions of events … couldn’t stop reading …. All the Feels for and toward these characters …

Wish I could get the time back. I started the book because it was on Barack Obama’s list. But I thought it was terrible! I kept waiting for it to get better, but it didn’t. I kept reading because I had already invested so much time. Then, I hoped that it would be neatly tied up and justified in the end. Instead, I actually wanted to scream! This book was ten hours of my life I wish I could get back.

recommended!!. This book wasn’t what i expected going into it, but i really grew to love it.

Wow. Amazing read!!! I would love to see a second book about how the school comes crashing down

Can’t finish it. She is a talented writer but this is way too grim for too long for me. I am done

Interesting but frustrating. While I finished the book because I wanted to know how it ended, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated with how the story unfolded. I was expecting something different. As a mother, I felt immense sadness that Frida lost time with her daughter and for how she was treated. A sad depiction of how mothers are treated and how they are expected to be perfect. Judged by people who have no right to judge. I give the book 3 stars because it kept my interest, but I was unhappy with where the story went and how it ended.

A powerful read!. This novel is simultaneously eye opening and heart breaking. 😢 Frida is a convincing protagonist, as she learns to survive in a dystopian future (that shares many similar traits to our own present) where the government, with its own female enforcers and accomplices, continues to put the burden of innocence on mothers to prove themselves in every hardship. I felt like I was reading a Asimov novel with a contemporary take through a parents eye. 🔥🔥🔥

So good. Honestly felt so much reading this book. As a mother of a 15 month old, there was a lot of tears

Just ok, not great. I liked the premise of this book, I found it was well written. However, I’m disappointed that there was not much more to the story. I kept expecting some suspense, but it never came…. Rather boring overall.

Wonderful and painful. As a mother of a little girl and a social worker, this book was difficult to read at times but I devoured it. The author does an amazing job writing the mothers, children, and broken child welfare system. One of my favourites ever
