๐ About this Book Woman on the Verge follows three women struggling with motherhood, identity, marriage, and the expectations placed on women.
Nicole never planned to become a stay-at-home mother, but after losing her job, she finds herself overwhelmed by toddlers, an increasingly distant husband, and her fatherโs declining health. Katrina is dealing with her own dissatisfaction and begins questioning the life she has built after an unexpected encounter awakens something she thought she had lost. Meanwhile, in the 1980s, Rose records her frustrations, ambitions, and doubts about motherhood in her diary.
As their stories unfold, the connections between these women become increasingly surprising, creating a raw exploration of what happens when women begin asking whether the lives they are living are actually the lives they wanted.

โค๏ธ Why Sumaia Recommends It This is messy, honest, emotional, and incredibly thought-provoking. I loved how it explores motherhood without pretending that loving your children means loving every part of being a mother. It asks uncomfortable questions about identity, marriage, sacrifice, and how much of yourself you can give away before you start disappearing.
