What do readers think of Motherhood by Sheila Heti? Write your own review.

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?

I had to force myself to finish this book. It was awful. It was so depressing. The narrator and her mother were both depressed, as was the whole book! The narrator was always whining and blaming others for her lack of decisiveness about having a baby. I also hated the coin answers to her self-centered questions. The whole book was a waste of my time!

Asking a series of questions and getting yes and no answers! Thought that would stop but it doesn’t. Tried to continue. And just when I thought it was getting better, it wasn’t. Stopped reading the book!

This book was a waste of my reading time. Page after page of a woman whining about "to have a baby or do not have a baby." Who cares??
