Not about maternal ambivalence but sociopathy character study is the “you” series by Carolyn Kepnes.. which was adapted to a Netflix series but her books are good.

I also love Bret Easton Ellis, American Psycho.

I didn’t finish “Babyteeth” but it’s about maternal ambivalence and a bad seed child and some people loved it.

I read “we need to talk about Kevin” when I was pregnant with my first child (a boy)… and it chilled me to the core.. the film adaptation was good too!

Hated!

I decided I don’t like diary entry format. All of it is just awful


It is one of those love it or hate it books. Like how I HATED wolf hall but lots of other people seem to love it.


Have you read The Push?

The Push was really good!

The Dinner by Herman Koch is somewhat similar. My book club read We Need to Talk About Kevin and we still talk about it sometimes, it has that effect on people.

The movie was haunting. But there’s no way Tilda Swinton would ever have a son named Kevin. She’s too cool.

It is a badly written book.
