The premise of the book is really interesting and the writing style was interesting. As a woman, nothing the characters were feeling was really surprising but I imagine it would be insightful for a male reader. I feel like a lot more could be done with the ideas of abortion being illegal and IVF banned for single mothers and have left feeling neither here nor there with it. At a time when these issues are so widely discussed and (somehow!) continue to be debated it didn't feel like it gave me a drive to fight which I was expecting to feel.
