pickLove Forms, by Claire Adam (2025)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Premise: A London woman looks back on her childhood in Trinidad, motherhood, and especially the traumatic events that brought her to the UK.
Review: I have a hard time reviewing this one. The reflections on motherhood and adoption are absolutely stunning — eleventy stars — and are undoubtedly why the book has received so much attention. ⬇️
Mattsbookaday But the rest of the narrative just didn‘t connect, either for me as a reader, or to the book‘s stronger themes, and I think the book would have been better with a tighter focus. #bookerlist 2mo
