A review by clevermor
Motherhood by Sheila Heti

emotional reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

If you have mommy issues, you'll either love or hate this book.
