Wow! I didn't expect this to be as hard-hitting as it was. I've never read a book about the IVF process people go through to have a baby, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this one. This is a sweet and emotional ride about Gemma and her journey to self-acceptance, personal growth, and motherhood. No matter how hard life's challenges were for Gemma and Josh, I liked that they never gave up. They kept going and realized there was more to see and experience. An enjoyable and thought-provoking read, although the conclusion felt a bit rushed and the body shaming language was not of my liking.
