“Look, she’s doing a great job. But sometimes I can see the stress and pressure. From other people. From herself. She’s the one with our son, day in and day out. I escape to my job, like Jack does. We get to use nonkid parts of our brain. Go where we want during the day. Not be controlled by this tiny little dictator. We unplug in a way you stay-at-homes don’t.”

“Parenthood is a strange, lonely planet that so many inhabit. In those early months, I wanted to read about the psychological complexities new parents can face: terror and elation, exhaustion and euphoria, isolation despite constant physical contact, and loneliness while never being alone. I hope this book will connect me with others who want to explore the difficult paths parenthood takes us down. This is the book I wanted to read as a new parent who loves dark and twisty psychological thrillers.”
