3.5 stars. A mixed bag of essays, but the ones that succeed really sing. Gleeson writes with impressive subtlety and her commentary on women's bodies and the Irish healthcare system is astute.
Favorites, for record-keeping: Our Mutual Friend, Twelve Stories of Bodily Autonomy, and Second Mother (which made me cry!).
