Red Clocks by Leni Zumas
4.0

The 'personhood amendment' has made abortion and ivf illegal in the USA. This book explores the impact of this on four women's lives, identities, choices and opportunities. But familiar social expectations and the way these women see themselves has just as much of an impact. This book is good and definitely worth reading, but it didn't totally blow my mind. I did really like that the main character was trying to conceive a child as a single mum using a sperm donor, since this is how I had my baby.
