Absolutely loved it. Exciting, reflective, inspiring, and I wish there were more 'parenting' books like this.

As a mum of two small children, these poems really resonated with me. I recommend this collection to everyone I know!

Brutally honest and wonderfully written. I could relate to so much of it.

God every new mum should read this book it really slaps. I've never really read much poetry but this book really changed what I thought it could be.

3.5 rounded up to 4. It gripped me in the beginning, not that this is an intense pager turner kind of a book but the format of it being partially prose and poetry made the chapters go by quickly. However as the book went on and we moved from pregnancy to having an infant to raising a toddler and the poems lengthen in some areas my interest did wane from time to time but I still think this was a good read. I think it's especially a good read for those who are pregnant or raising a young child just to know you are not alone in your feelings and to help you feel OK with how things are going with your baby raising.
