Nightbitch / Rachel Yoder, 248 pgs.
A former artist now full-time mother with a two-year-old son, our protagonist is struggling. She adores her son but also feels resentment that she is on her own all week while her husband travels for work. She is lonely and exhausted and close to losing her mind. Not fitting in with the perfect mommy crowd at the library, she withdraws but notices changes in her body. Deep inside her, she is becoming more canine. There are sharper teeth, patches of hair, a new sharper sense of smell. Instinct takes over and she plays with her child like a pup. She gives in more and more to this new behavior and finds herself much happier. Of course things will eventually come to a head. Oh boy, this is an interesting and fun read. Plenty of us lose ourselves at times, here is a story of a woman who finds herself.
