Omg the amount of female rage I felt while reading this. I felt so bad for the main character, but I loved the way the book broke down the situations and would stop and look at it from a statics point of view. Or give a history of how certain things came to be. Its nice to see a book that goes there about how hard it is to find a way to plan out the actual legistics of having a child and the decisions behind it and who is gonna do what. idk I liked it, and omg the last sentence got me sooooo mad.
