herrengels 's review for:

Motherhood by Sheila Heti

3.5

emotional reflective sad slow-paced

---

Beautifully written, this book is a poetic navel gazing on the topic of whether the main character (at the age of 36, a bit old tbh) should have children. While some topics were quite interesting and relatable, I could not relate to how immature, insecure and seemingly insane the main character was. Mostly read as overly personal diary that should have stayed in the bedside table.
