The Mothers by Brit Bennett

Brit Bennett has the most beautiful writing style – I haven’t been able to put either of her books done when reading them. She pulls you in and weaves such a beautiful, heart-wrenching, and moving story. Her characters are always messy and complex and you will see true humanity in each of them. In The Mothers, Bennett tells the story of a very complex and heavy love triangle between Nadia, Aubrey (her best friend), and Luke (the local pastor’s son). One of my favorite aspects of the book is that rather than only explore what happened, Bennett explores what might have happened if any of them had made a different choice along the way. These characters will find their way into your heart and mind and the people and their stories will stick with you long after you read the last page.
