This surreal (and stressful) look at motherhood and womanhood is so well written. It's weird and wonderful, and I must have experienced just about every emotion possible while reading it. The moments of frustration and heartbreak are juxtaposed against humourous examinations of mommy culture and the societal expectations placed on women (and mothers).
Graphic: Animal cruelty and Animal death
Moderate: Body horror, Gore, and Blood
Minor: Excrement and Pregnancy
