Yesteryear

I don't normally enjoy books where the main character is supremely unlikeable, but this book was hard to put down! Natalie Heller Mills is an influencer, a tradwife to be exact, although she resents the term. She and her perfect husband and her perfect children live on a huge ranch and they work the land, homeschool their children, and live simple lives. But what if it's not all that it's cracked up to be? What if there are two realities, the one that social media users see and the one that's really happening? One morning Natalie wakes up and she's in her room, but it's not her room and it's not her family. She's back in time, in the late 1800s and she has no idea how or why? Is she on a reality show? Did she eat something weird? Life may have looked wholesome and easy, but having to put in this level of work (no washing machines!!), is tedious. Told through multiple storylines, Yesteryear is raw, thought provoking, and unputdownable. I didn't see the end coming!
