I am delighted to be on the tour for this read.
Detoxing the plot:
Dr. Maya Rao is a gynecologist trying to balance a busy life. With three young children, a career, and a happy marriage, she should be grateful—on paper, she has it all. But after a disastrous encounter with an entitled patient, Maya is forced to walk away from the city hospital where she’s spent her entire career.
An opportunity arises when Maya crosses paths with Amelia DeGilles at a school meeting. Amelia is the owner and entrepreneur behind Eunoia Women’s Health, a concierge wellness clinic that specializes in house calls for its clientele of wealthy women for whom no vitamin infusion or healing crystal is too expensive. All Eunoia needs is a gynecologist to join its ranks.
Amid visits to her clients’ homes, Maya comes to idolize the beautiful, successful Amelia. But Amelia’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems. When Amelia’s teenaged daughter is struck with a mysterious ailment, Maya must race to uncover the reason before it’s too late. In the process, she risks losing what’s most important to her and bringing to light a secret of her own that she’s been desperately trying to keep hidden.
Bobs and Books honest review:
I must admit that I was a bit cynical when this started and wondered if it might be a bunch of women babbling about vaginas. But this has some real storylines amidst its chaos.
It has the Stepford wife committee mums, prudish and judging. It has mums doing their best with unpredictable children. It has the rich taking advantage of their status and ruling their lives, and others with their money.
I like the insights into Maya's home life, her husband and three children definitely try and keep her on her toes.
Some hilarious moments, and some more serious ones. A book dedicated to motherhood in all its glory.
A satisfying read.
