If you're excited by the idea of a childfree by choice main character who finds fulfillment through her career and friendships (as is promised in the blurb about this book), this is probably not what you're looking for....
I feel so misled by the marketing and blurbs about this book. I was so excited to finally have a book about a woman who was happily childfree and found fulfillment through friends and her career. It started off so strong and relatable about how once people become parents, relationships with them completely change. Then I started to get nervous when it started talking about how much she loved holding her friend's baby, but she still said she didn't want kids so I held out hope. But then she ends up in a relationship with her ex who is a dad? That's almost the opposite of what was promised. If I had known that she would be caving on not wanting kids, I wouldn't have read it. For many people that may not be a big deal, but as someone who is childfree by choice, it is nearly impossible to find books (especially contemporary) that don't end with the woman having/wanting children.
