Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Really good

I was caught off guard at the last words - my eyes started leaking. This is a really good story and the narrator is masterful.

April is a thoughtful yet sarcastic mother of two who tries her best to be a caring, connected mom in a middle-class culture where motherhood has become relentless. April rages at modern motherhood’s impossible pressures, her husband’s “Dad privilege”, and her kids’ incessant snack requests. She wants to enjoy motherhood, but her idealist vision and lived experience are in constant conflict with one another. Is she broken - or is motherhood?

FINALLY, a book a mom can fully relate to!
Revisado: 11-25-20
Best moment of the book: Brandy coining the phrase 'parenting with a gun to your head' as describing the frantic, desperate manner in which us moms try to appease one or multiple young children (usually with a toddler) in order to restore something of a calm ish atmosphere, or at least stop the screeching whining and wailing!
I've honestly been looking for a book from the perspective of a mom with young kids, ever since my own life has been consumed by baby-bosses, stinky diapers and soft wet kisses. This book delivers. Brandy drops as many truth-bombs as F-bombs and each one feels refreshing and hilariously validating. I'm not one to swear a bunch myself, but any mom knows the panicky moments when it feels like the world is crashing down, she's lost control, and for some crazy reason curse words lighten the load just enough to keep going.
I eventually came to like Brandy's voice as the narrator, but it did take a few chapters to get used to her. If you're put off by the way she reads the book, just give it a few chapters and I promise it gets better.
The most impactful aspect of this book, and biggest reason why I will be telling my friends to read it: the spotlight Brandy shines on parenting inequality. She is able to detangle the necessary burdens of motherhood, and what culture has unfairly placed upon the shoulders of the mothers in our society. I loved how she portrays a very honest and sometimes uncomfortable view of how the husband, Aaron, despite how deeply he cares for his wife, follows the script of our society and doesn't even see how much she's struggling and how much he's NOT DOING. He's neither a hero nor a villain, but is what so many of husbands of our time are. I was shocked at how close to my own marital issues the book came. Just get the book!! There's no way you won't benefit in some way from it, parent or not, mom or not, woman or not.
