4.0

I was very into the main "baby" plot but less interested in the long digressions into the characters' pasts/childhoods, and found the dialogue fairly prone to social justice monologues, which was a bit at odds with the characters repeatedly defining themselves as not the kind of people who make social justice monologues. Really appreciated a story about 30-something queers trying to navigate family and would have loved more focus on that.
