The great thing about this memoir is the destigmatization of infertility and IVF. You go along her journey and the ups and downs of the IVF process. My only beef with it is that I wish there were more. I would have liked more information about her feelings in between tests and injections, more interactions with nurses and doctors, more details about the process.
