Amei a história deste livro. Estive compenetrada desde o início, absolutamente fascinada pela forma como a escritora aborda tantos tópicos de um tema que gera sempre "discussão": ser mãe; desde o "não quero ser mãe" à pressão dos que nos rodeiam, do ter um filho problemático resultado de uma relação tóxica ao sentimento de "não ser boa mãe", do nascimento de uma criança com a sina de não ter muito tempo de vida.
Tudo temas intensos e importantes. No entanto, o fim deixou muito a desejar. Incompleto e apressado.

This was awful, but not because it was a bad book.

yazarreola's review against another edition

Creo que he leído poco respecto a la maternidad vista desde la perspectiva que plantea la autora, pero definitivamente es una conversación que he tenido muchas veces con mis amigas, inclinándonos más hacia la decisión de no tener hijos.
Me gusto el libro solo que me hubiera gustado que fuera un poquito más largo que desarrollara más ciertos personajes y/o situaciones.
