story
165 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe story in "Little Disasters" by Sarah Vaughan is a complex and emotional exploration of motherhood, friendship, and mental health, particularly focusing on postpartum depression. It unfolds through multiple perspectives and timelines, revealing unexpected twists and deep character motivations, though some readers found the pacing and excessive detail detracted from the overall impact. While the narrative addresses serious themes and societal pressures on mothers, it also includes elements of suspense and mystery surrounding a child's injury that keeps readers engaged until the final revelations.
“The story gradually unfolds with plenty of unexpected twists and diversions right to the last chapter.”
“Little Disasters is a dark and emotional story about the never-ending and sometimes all-consuming challenges of motherhood, the pressures women place on themselves (and, unfortunately, each other), the need for support and understanding, and the tragedies that can occur when that need is not met.”
“The author has written a story about motherhood and how devastating and dangerous postpartum depression and mental health issues can be if not recognized and treated.”
“The idea that a baby could be dropped and no one takes responsibility in a fiction story is a poor use of paper and time.”
“Instead of wrapping the story up at what is an obvious and natural stopping point, she blows right by it and throws in an unneeded twist that, while startling and surprising, ultimately weakens and cheapens the story.”
“The mother’s story isn't consistent with the head injury.”
