4.5

A truly touching portrayal of womanhood through the lens of an author who hates her boobs, loves her sister and her niece, and muses on life. 

The ending was a bit of a cop-out, imo, and that’s the reason I took off 0.5 stars. It was still a touching piece of prose, but ending her story with the birth of her daughter seemed too perfect.
