Fresh, funny, and honest!

I loved that motherhood is the central plot, it isn't a secondary narrative swept under the rug. It's given the platform to be explored with all the different choices considered or experienced by Olive, Bea, Isla, and Cecily.

The quotes inserted at the end of each chapter around the subject of choosing not to have children really puts the spotlight on expectations, preconceived ideas, enforced opinions, and pressure most of society put on women.

It just missed out on 5⭐ because I personally struggled with the idea that as such close friends they could be so self-absorbed and not be really there for each other. Obviously it serves to highlight the different paths and changing priorities. Maybe that is exactly what happens and I'm just yet to experience it?

Overall a thought-provokingly engaging read that explores an incredibly important life choice in a refreshingly honest and open way.

A huge thanks to Harper Collins UK & NetGalley Review for gifting me a copy in return for an open & honest review.
