Very informative at times. I appreciated the statistics and learned a great deal. Some of the information about the impacts of the ACA was truly surprising. Occasionally it felt a bit preachy tho and I felt it took a little bit to get to the point at the beginning. I appreciated the very thorough non-judgmental nature of the whole work.

Could have been more gender inclusive across rather than in one chapter but so insightful and well written

No matter how much I read about pregnancy my mind is still blown by how little we seem to know about aspects of it. Google microchimerism as just one example out of like 50 from just this book alone. I enjoyed how much Garbes went into the emotional side of parenting and the huge identity shift of parenthood. For me this books is a perfect mix of facts and emotion.
