This book was hard to put down and was overall a great read. I think reading this as a woman gave me a different feeling than what a man might feel. Not saying a man wouldn't enjoy it but this book covers alot of feelings and emotions a woman might go through than might be hard to relate to. 

I expected something different when reading this book, but I really enjoyed the direction it took. It makes you think a lot about the experience of being a woman and expectations on becoming a mother. It's both sad and terrifying.
