Not particularly well written: feels like a newspaper article constantly picking up quotes from mothers without too much contextual background. In addition it feels like just a long advert for the Peanut app; it would have been nice to have more autobiographical experience or long-form experiences. A few nuggets of inspiration in there though, and probably worth a read for new mothers, although I expect there’s better books out there on this topic.
