I am going to be honest -- I really hated Sandwich. I LOVE Catherine Newman's vibe, and I enjoyed her last book, but this book did not feel realistic to me at all. Every character felt like a caricature except for the male characters who were incredibly flat. It just felt so forced, and I hate saying that because I did feel like it came from a sincere place.
I was a little scared to click on the New Yorker link, as someone who doesn’t *want* to encounter compelling arguments for having any more children than the one great one I already have. Luckily the article, uh, didn’t do that…to put it mildly 😅
Yeahhhh. Among a lot of ideas to get hung up on in that piece, I got so stuck on the idea of having a PhD, writing a book and also having 8 kids and 6 step kids. Just like, wait what come again?

Ooooh man! I really had wanted to read We All Want Impossible Things first, and I guess maybe I'll stick with that plan
We All Want Impossible Things reminded me of the show Better Things in the BEST way.
OMG my favorite show ever. Sold
That show helped me survive postpartum!!!!
I liked WAWIT better
