I always knew I did not want to be a mother but yet I’ve also been fascinated by stories about the struggles of parenthood. I’ve read a few of these books but adding some to my list!
I recently posted about wanting motherhood to go mainstream since it encompasses EVERY aspect of the human condition. I rly love that Steph shared that, despite not wanting children, she recommended and read with pleasure these particular books (Nightbitch was great). LOVED this collab post and thank you for treating motherhood like any other meritorious literary topic 🫶🏻🩵
Great list! Steph, have you read Chouette??
Thanks and I haven’t!! Would you recommend?
I have all of these on my TBR!!!

I so agree with you, Violet! I think it’s really great when we explore it as a topic from so many angles, not just glamorizing it.
Absolutely — thank you for sharing the books you included in this post!
