Interesting look at our fascination with “Momfluencers“ on social media. How they came about, why we are hooked on them, the effects on our idea of what a “good Mom“ is etc.. Quote: “Motherhood is packaged as something you “must do right“. Quote: “We are eager for sources on the right way to do motherhood“. It was a quick read and then I had to go look up some of the Momfluencers that were mentioned in the book. 3 stars

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Per social media, the default symbol of a good mom is white/thin/pretty/cis. That combination is not indicative of the majority of American moms, so why do we care about these people? I generally don‘t; at least not intentionally. Petersen takes a look at this bizarre industry. Smart and snarky.

PS. The takedown of Rachel Hollis gave me much pleasure. She‘s awful.
