Hoo boy this was a goooood read! Magical realism rooted in the very real, complicated feelings that are addressed - related to queerness, motherhood, pregnancy/childbirth, disability. I was blown away by the read (and read it very quickly) and connected to a lot of what the MC was feeling and grappling with (esp. as someone who does not really want to have kids)
