RECOMENDADO POR JENNA BUSH EN SU CLUB DE LECTURA DEL TODAY SHOW

Preseleccionada para la Medalla Carnegie de Excelencia del 2023.

Seleccionado como uno de los libros favoritos de la Lista de Lectura de Verano 2022 de Barack Obama.

En este éxito de ventas del New York Times y el programa de televisión Today - Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, un error en el juicio lleva a una joven madre a un programa de reformas del gobierno donde la custodia de su hijo está en juego, en este "surrealista" (People), "notable" (Vogue) y "exasperantemente oportuno" (The New York Times Book Review) estreno de novela.

Una novela inteligente que captura las presiones de la maternidad moderna y muestra cómo la sociedad juzga rápidamente a los demás. Impresionante, intrépida, con cierto humor macabro y con mucho suspense. Una novela feminista magistral.

TODA MUJER TIENE UN MAL DÍA

Frida Liu es una madre soltera de 39 años propensa a la ansiedad. En Filadelfia, donde vive, la denuncian por dejar a su hija sola durante un breve período de tiempo. Los Servicios de Protección Infantil del Estado, cada vez más empoderados, se llevan a su hija Harriet y ponen en vigilancia la casa de Frida. Después de una serie de visitas supervisadas, un juez considera que Frida no es apta como madre, temporalmente.

Su única esperanza es seguir compartiendo la custodia de Harriet con su ex (y la cariñosa novia de él) y aprobar los exámenes impuestos por el nuevo y preciado programa gubernamental. Se trata de un programa interno de doce meses, una escuela situada en un campus universitario abandonado, que ha de ayudar a Frida (y a otras malas madres de todo el país) a convertirse de nuevo en madres aptas. El Estado ha creado ayudantes e instructores que deberán ayudar a las madres in situ. Se trata de jóvenes programados para medir y registrar si las mujeres arrepentidas por su comportamiento sienten una profunda devoción hacia sus hijos. Estos ayudantes se convertirán en algo muy parecido a sus hijos.

Frida y otras mujeres viven en esta escuela durante un año indigno. Un año en el que Frida oscilará de la obstinada esperanza al dolor en medio de un constante adoctrinamiento. A pesar del afecto que empieza a sentir por su "ayudante", Frida no está segura de poder sobrevivir. Otras madres no han sobrevivido. Sin embargo, Frida está decidida a reunirse nuevamente con Harriet, para recordarle a su hija el valor de su amor imperfecto, al margen de si el Estado la considera una buena madre o no.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Longlisted for the 2023 Carnegie Medal for Excellence.

Selected as One of Barack Obama's Summer 2022 Reading List Picks!

In this New York Times bestseller and Today show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick, one lapse in judgement lands a young mother in a government reform program where custody of her child hangs in the balance, in this "surreal" (People), "remarkable" (Vogue), and "infuriatingly timely" (The New York Times Book Review) debut novel.

Frida Liu is struggling. She doesn't have a career worthy of her Chinese immigrant parents' sacrifices. She can't persuade her husband, Gust, to give up his wellness-obsessed younger mistress. Only with Harriet, their cherubic daughter, does Frida finally attain the perfection expected of her. Harriet may be all she has, but she is just enough.

Until Frida has a very bad day.

The state has its eye on mothers like Frida. The ones who check their phones, letting their children get injured on the playground; who let their children walk home alone. Because of one moment of poor judgement, a host of government officials will now determine if Frida is a candidate for a Big Brother-like institution that measures the success or failure of a mother's devotion.

Faced with the possibility of losing Harriet, Frida must prove that a bad mother can be redeemed. That she can learn to be good.

An "intense" (Oprah Daily), "captivating" (Today) page-turner that is also a transgressive novel of ideas about the perils of "perfect" upper-middle class parenting; the violence enacted upon women by both the state and, at times, one another; the systems that separate families; and the boundlessness of love, The School for Good Mothers introduces, in Frida, an everywoman for the ages. Using dark wit to explore the pains and joys of the deepest ties that bind us, Chan has written a modern literary classic.

oh wow
Format: Kindle
I just knew there was something about Cooper! I’m wondering if he’s about to be included but damn I’m glad he’s at least not a rapist and creepy guy, he just got called on assignment and had to go! This should be interesting! She’s gonna run and then what’s his face is gonna grab her. I’m worried! Wow that was a great book and cliffhanger! Loving this!

Good start to a series
Format: Kindle
I delayed reading the series for reasons I don’t remember. But my TBR list is huge so I thought I’d take a shot of this and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn’t think the blurb about it was anything special. But it was a very good book. It took some interesting twists and turns. I am so glad the second book is already out. Because I would not have waited patiently. Very slow burn but good storyline. 🔥🔥/5

A good read
Format: Kindle
Multiple points of view. 3 Alpha men and an Omega male. She is a Beta in training for a new program placing betas in Alpha/Omega packs. Mila is only doing the program for the money to take care of her dad. She wasn't expecting to fall for a pack but when she sees this packs Omega she is done for. There is just something about him. His Alphas are good looking as well. Too bad she is hiding a secret and their government is acting shady. I liked it and can't wait to see where their story goes.

Slightly repetitive but I did love some things
Format: Kindle
I love this type of story. And omegaverse is one of my all time favorite genres. But there are a few things that pulled me out of my enjoyment while I was reading. It was repetitive at times as well as struggled with telling not showing. So we didn’t always feel like we were experiencing things with the main character. There were also some plot holes but they may still be answered in part 2. Now this isn’t to be said I didn’t enjoy parts of the story. I loved the almost instant love between Mila and Oliver. And how he started changing around her.
