Powerful, terrifying and twisted, this book was incredible. I took my time reading it and i enjoyed every page, not once wanting to rush through it or get it over with.

With inspiration from Rosemary's Baby and the Push, this is a story of IVF, miscarriage, and a pregnancy that starts to go very wrong. This was a brilliant reflection on medical gaslighting, motherhood, and the way women have been neglected by the medical field that claims to be the experts over our bodies. Brilliant, claustrophobic and just a little bit gory, this was the perfect type of horror book for me, but one I would definitely recommend checking the triggers for.

Medical misogyny, medical racism, the history of racism and abuse in medical research. There are many vignettes showing this through the past couple hundred years.
