3.5 stars rounded up. It starts to get repetitive after a while.

I enjoyed the real unapologetic essays the most, like Over and Out by Geoff Dyer.

New to me were the stories of women who wanted children, sometimes quite badly, early in life, but then changed their minds. There were also stories of women who might have wanted kids but decided not to have them because of lifestyle conflicts or mental illness. Those perspectives were good ones. I have personally never felt this primal urge to have kids, so it’s always a bit mysterious to hear about it.

Overall an interesting read - just got a bit dull by the end.
