I liked the first half of this book more than the second. The author's infertility journey was kind of interesting, but I didn't feel like it was what I signed on for when picking up the book. I think I expected more encouragement about being a late bloomer, but maybe that was an unfair expectation from a memoir.

robynjhip's review against another edition

hopeful reflective medium-paced

This is memoir I related to quite a bit and not just the being a late bloomer. I also related to Doree's fertility and pregnancy struggles. I listened to the audiobook and it was like listening to her podcasts. Her voice is very soothing. As a rule, I don't give star ratings to memoirs but I do reccomed this book to anybody who has ever felt left out becuase they hadn't done this or that by a certain time.
