I have a lot of thoughts about this book.  I think it's horrible that anyone recommends it without a content warning for infertility.  I think reading about infertility in an honest way makes me feel seen.  I think people who haven't gone through infertility consume this in a torture porn kind of way (the A Little Life dilemma - people who never felt depressed in their life LOVE that book).  I hate hate hate hate hate the "they just weren't right for each other" kind of romance plot.  The book was funny, it was emotional, it was moving, it was very Rhode Island.  Overall though I liked this book but I just don't know why other people would.
