BIG BAD is my first taste of Chandler Baker's writing, and I'm hooked. This is a gruesome tale of a broken marriage with two kiddos caught in the middle, plus a menacing presence lurking around and within their farmhouse walls. Who's the real baddie? The character development was impressive, especially considering the book was under 60 pages. I greatly enjoyed this creepy and emotional family drama/horror story!
Nora (the protagonist) is trying to make partner at her law firm but having the mental work at home (as well as actually managing the family as well as supporting her boss). The book opens with Nora & her husband looking at a house in a development due an impending child. There's the overtones of things feeling slightly 'off' but nothing too overt.
This has shades of 'The Stepford Wives', and 'Don't Worry Darling' (but reversed) - all the women in the development are extremely competent and their husbands appear to support them worringly too much.
This feels like it could have been good, but it wasn't. I feel like this would be a perfect candidate for a Readers Digest condensed look - take some of the extraneous stuff out and sharpen it up.… (more)

Tired mommy with a twist, a fun ride indeed. She perfectly captured the mommy vents text string you have with your bestie but she's sharing it with you. Literally the most realistic "mom brain" I've encountered in any book.

This was a pretty good story. I read the audiobook version which was narrated by Christina Traister. The Audio was good and the book was paced appropriately for a short-story. I felt the dialog was a bit clunky in parts, but overall I enjoyed it. This was offered for free as part of a short story collection through Amazon.
