maz05 's review for:

Motherhood by Sheila Heti

4.0

---

A book that talks about everything , but also nothing, related to the decision to have (or not to have) children. I picked this book up because I myself have gone through the process of decision-making and wanted to see how it goes for the author. It was a very real and honest account of the author going through the motions. But it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Perhaps I liked it because it told me exactly what I wanted to hear? I would recommend it to every woman who is making the decision on whether or not to have kids, but be forewarned -- if you haven't thought much of it, and particularly if you are on the fence, this may not be your cup of tea because it will make you face some very hard truths.
