YMMV / The School for Good Mothers

• Realism-Induced Horror: While there's no actual "school for good mothers" as depicted in the book in real life, the idea of having your child taken away from you because of a single lapse in judgement — and subsequently never seeing them again because no matter what you do, you're seen as too "unfit" to have them back — is a very real fear for parents. Author Jessamine Chan was actually inspired to write it by her anxieties over the idea of becoming a parent.
