This book had many interesting stories throughout. I loved the personal anecdotes by the author, it added a lot to the story. I think that they really added to the story and made it more personal. However, I did struggle at the end where the author started talking about a desire and drive for a second child. I have no problem with people having multiple children, however, it was borderline preaching that if we didn’t have the desire to have more than one child, we were less than. There is nothing I hate more than being told I need more than one child, or I’m broken for not wanting more than one. Up until this point in the book, I really enjoyed it, and appreciated the research that the author provided. There was plenty of scientific information used to add merit to her own feelings, and it was done in a thoughtful way. There’s plenty of useful information in this book that I think it is a worthwhile read, I would just with the ending didn’t fall apart the way it did.

Thank you to @stmartinspress for sending me a copy of this book. All thoughts are my own.
