What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding: A Memoir by Kristin Newman

1.0

---

I was hoping for a book that perhaps, despite a snarky title, talked about building a child free life I cousine of friends and travel. Instead I got a book that was shockingly ignorant for coming from a person so well traveled (comments about Haiti being full of AIDS??). To top it off, the end is her talking about life with her husband and step children. Seems like a strange end to a book with a title that is so dismissive of people being pregnant and giving birth.

I really wanted to like this book but it sadly fell very flat
