5.0

A thought-provoking novel about what "motherhood" and "family" mean in a world where science can make changes in our most basic structures. Chadwick left me with so much to consider; while the main character is pretty unlikeable and I'm not sure about the main relationship, I don't think a character needs to be likeable for their story to be important. Excellent novel to bring to a book club discussion.
