Crybaby: Infertility, Illness, and Other Things That Were Not the End of the World by Cheryl Klein, Cheryl Klein

4.0

It's rare to read a self-portrait so unvarnished and honest about her own flaws, fears, neuroses, insecurities, interpersonal challenges, moments of self-absorption, & moments of wicked delight. Cheryl Klein is whip smart and hilarious and puts it all on the page -- the good, the bad, and the ugly. She was able to make me laugh within a long string of unfortunate events and also to make me root for her despite her constantly self-admitted self-indulgence. If you have a constantly running inner critic, an inner voice that doesn't seem to have an Off button, or a strong compulsion to find the story in every situation, the voice in this book may feel familiar to you.

Raw and really and provides important insights into living life as a queer woman, as a woman with cancer, as a woman who has had a miscarriage, etc.
