kallsie 's review for:

Motherhood by Sheila Heti
4.0

Close to a five star for this one... I found how mental illness was dealt with a little problematically - maybe that's cause I've yet to find a pill that makes my anxiety just melt away, making it hard for me to digest those passages.

I honestly didn't know too much about the book going into this so I was pleasantly surprised how the desire to reproduce (or not) was handled. I'm sure many women will recognize parts of themselves in the protagonist.
