Overall not bad. I'm conflicted in how I feel about the end. I am also sick of a certain trope: being a woman(ish) who is childfree by choice, I am endlessly tired of childfree women changing their minds in stories. It sets a bad example and results in us being doubted and questioned and ridiculed for our choice not to bear children . Wouldn't reread, but not mad I read it.
Moderate: Child death, Child abuse, Incest, Adult/minor relationship, Rape, Ableism, and Vomit
