The fertility struggles weren't something I thought I would be reading when I picked up the book to be honest, and it was nice to read something I've never really touched based with before even if it was a little bit on the heavy side.
Just wanted to stick in this part of the book, cause it was one of my favourite pieces of it:
"___ found it extraordinary how much ownership strangers felt they had over her uterus. People she had only just met would imagine they knew her age, her sexual proclivities and her maternal urges. There was an assumption, implicit in the question, that all women should want to have children and that those who didn't were somehow lacking. It used to infuriate her. Now it just left her hollow."
Anyways, I do fully think it is worth the read. The plot is a lot thicker than I feel like you initially imagine and you can't really get a sense of which way is up or down at the start. Not a clue what is going on . And then suddenly it all starts to make sense!

It felt like this book took me ages to read, and I’ve found it a bit of a slog to get to the end, I didn’t want to give up because I wanted to know how it ended and what I thought would happen didn’t which really was a bonus because my head went to a very different place
Worth a read if you have the time, don’t think I’d recommend it to friends as it just didn’t give me the “psychological thriller” vibe I was expecting. It’s very PG
