While detransition is a large part of this book, the focus really is more on the "baby" part of the title. It explores motherhood and queer parenting, and I was really intrigued by all the discussions being had. Which is why the ending was such a let down for me, I think, because the conversation just kind of stopped. I think the intent is for the book to not give the reader any answers to the questions that have been posed, but I found it rather unsatisfactory. Still, good book over all.

very insightful book that hit a little too close to home at certain points, especially in regards to amy's gender troubles and the fears/hope of starting a family not aligned with heteronormative expectations. fantastic. hurt me again! a story that's not afraid to portray an ugliness and beauty so realistic to what trans women/fems may experience in reality. the characters are deeply flawed and so so so human. peters has a powerful command of her prose, i loved how she described certain concepts. i feel a deep ache at all the trauma these women have been through, and it makes me want to give my girlfriend a big fat kiss on the forehead when she wakes up in the morning. and i will, dont worry. anyway please talk to me about this book what the fuck.
