Great with Child: Letters to a Young Mother by Beth Ann Fennelly

5.0

I can't remember where I got a recommendation for this book, only that it was while I was pregnant, people loved it, but I wasn't entirely sure I'd enjoy it due to the epistolary format. Well, it's perfect. I'm curious if I would have been less surprised by some of the realities of delivering a baby or becoming a mom or caring for a newborn if I'd read this first, but at 7 weeks in, it was also enjoyable to read these letters and feel seen and connected to a greater community. You are not alone.
