Motherhood
by Sheila Heti
She never asked the right question. (2/20/2018)
I had to force myself to read this book to conclusion. Obviously she had made her decision before the book was ever written as she had an abortion and took the morning after pill. Personally, I'm very pleased she decided not to have any children. Her glass is always half empty. I myself have struggled with family depression and several life changing issues, however I don't spend my time blaming everyone else for my weaknesses. I'm still trying to figure out what is the point of even writing the book?
