A review by lisasplans
The Nine Lives of Rose Napolitano by Donna Freitas

4.5

I have never read a book like this before. This book is fiction but it spoke to me very personally about my own life experiences while reading the story of Rose Napolitano. It follows nine different versions of life Rose could have had depending on whether she became a mother or not. We so rarely hear stories of women who choose not to become mothers. It is so often just stories of the “joys” of pregnancy and how great being a mother is. But not all women are born with a desire to become a mother nor do we all love being pregnant.  Thank you Donna Freitas for bringing your words to life and sharing the other side of this coin.

Thank you to @momadvice for picking this book for our January book club.
