I totally get the breastfeeding as a symbol of a mothers connection and I’d be fine with that, but literally it’s on every other page. A few times through the book? Sure. By the end I felt like her breast milk was a character itself.
Maybe the book fell flat for me being a guy with no kids? I’m pretty open to whatever concept an author wants to throw my way but this just wasn’t handle well at all in my opinion. Maybe i just need to mull it over some more?
Also i honestly don’t quite understand the ending. Like at all.
