Book description
Imagine if your mom was a dystopian novel. The School for Good Mothers by Jessamine Chan is that novel, and it's the audiobook you'll binge while muttering, "Wait, I checked my phone once while my kid ate cereal? I'm getting sent to boot camp?" (Spoiler: You are.)
Jessamine Chan, a debut author who somehow got Barack Obama to say "This book's great" (seriously, how?), crafts a world where one parenting misstep-like accidentally texting "suck it" to your sister instead of "suck it up"-lands you in a government reform camp for moms. Think Big Brother, but with more lactation consultants and fewer creepy men in black. Frida Liu, a woman who already feels like she's failing at being a "good" Chinese American mom (thanks, immigrant parents and wellness-obsessed husband), gets the ultimate parenting fail: she let her kid walk home from school. Cue the state's "Good Mother" program, where every lullaby is monitored, your love is judged for being "too loud," and custody hinges on your ability to not sigh when your toddler throws a tantrum in the grocery store.
The audiobook? Chef's kiss. The narrator's deadpan delivery of lines like, "Your child's safety is not a priority-your compliance is," is so sharp, you'll snort-laugh into your coffee. It's surreal (People called it that, and they're not wrong), infuriatingly timely (like, yesterday), and packed with dark humor that makes you feel guilty for laughing. Chan's prose is spare but devastating-like a single, perfectly aimed spitball to the forehead. You'll find yourself nodding along, muttering, "Yes, the state does judge your parenting choices while you're literally trying to survive the school run."
It's not just about dystopian tropes; it's a hilarious, gut-punching takedown of how society polices mothers-especially mothers of color and working moms-while ignoring the real monsters: the ones who say, "Just be perfect, honey." The book's genius? It makes you realize: This isn't a far-fetched future. This is the mom group chat right now. And the narrator? She's your sarcastic best friend who's seen it all, whispering, "You've been here before. You've all been here before."
So press play. You'll be hooked by Frida's struggle to prove she's "good" while the state's judgmental mom squad watches (and judges your snack choices). It's The Handmaid's Tale meets Mommy War-but with far more sarcasm and zero judgment for your late-night pizza run. And trust me: the moment you hear the narrator say, "Your child is your responsibility, not your identity," you'll want to scream into the void. Then immediately recommend it to your mom, your sister, and the stranger who just judged your kid's messy hair. Because everyone needs this reality check-and the audiobook's perfect for when you're too tired to read but need to scream into a pillow. Just don't check your phone while listening. You know, for safety.
