Curtis Sittenfeld is one of my favorite authors, so I don't like how conflicted I feel about this book. In some ways I really liked it, and I read the last 80% of it basically in one sitting. But in other ways it was unsatisfying and distressing, and not the book I felt I'd signed up for. I was not a fan of the sudden affair or how much that seemed to be the main point of the book/ending. As someone twelve weeks pregnant, it was really interesting to read about all the pregnancy experiences in this book, and her life as a stay-at-home parent. But I also hated the ableism, even if it was probably more of a product of the time it was written than anything else. I don't know. I'll still read anything Sittenfeld writes, but I don't think I'll be recommending this book to anyone ever.
