Thought this was going to be a a silly cute fantasy, got  myself to 50 pages found it exceptionally confusing / boring / a slog decided to let it go.

I just didn't vibe with this book, found it tedious and wasn't particularly enjoying the main characters. 

(M)otherhood: On the choices of being a woman

I thought the focus was on the otherhood, but it's not, it's on the motherhood, well at least the first 100 or so pages. I just don't feel I'm in the headspace for this right now, and am going to put it on the back burner, maybe go back to it another time, or maybe just donate it!

I was listening to this as an audio book but it didn't really go in, I was busy doing other things and I think I need to read a physical copy of this.

Sexism, I may come back to this but I don't think it's for me.
