Wooooow. I mean wooow. Lo recomiendo mucho.
Me encantaron las diferentes perspectivas de las historias que se cuentan. La maternidad siempre ha tenido esta definición compleja. El apego a la feminidad. Se trata de tres diferentes mujeres que muestran ejemplos de cómo la maternidad afecta a las mujeres. Cómo aceptar el deseo de tener hijos pero también decidir no tenerlos.

Thank you for this arc. 

I was interested in the premise of the book but I could not get into the writing style. Although some of it was beautiful, other parts felt forced.

3.5/5⭐️

I absolutely loved the concept of this book. I’m a sucker for short stories. The writing of course is stunning and every story has its own twist to it. 
I will say it was hard to get into some of the stories and felt a bit confused but my favorite one is The Wish Bridge.

Thank you so much for this arc:)

I mean wooooow….. This was my first Coco Mellors book and I’m astonished. The writing is beautiful and gut wrenching. I love books with complex characters—story lines.

Grief is always changing and each person handles it differently. It also a complicity of family relationships and unconditional love.

Thank you for giving me this arc!

This is so creepy and morbid. 

Interesting take on poetry. The writing leaves you questioning what you’ve read and felt very disturbed
