Thanks for Waiting: The Unexpected Joy (& Weirdness) of Being a Late Bloomer by Doree Shafrir

3.0

---

I enjoyed the first half of this book. As a similarly-aged late bloomer who spent the same years in the same city as the author, it really resonated. Unfortunately, at the midway point this became an entirely ordinary memoir of fertility and pregnancy struggles that disappointed me greatly. Just once I’d like to read something that doesn’t reinforce societal expectations.
