The Panic Years: Dates, Doubts, and the Mother of All Decisions by Nell Frizzell
4.0

I actually enjoyed this book, I picked it up not really knowing what it was about (I just saw it recommended on a book stack) and was pleasantly surprised to have read something so relevant to my current life stage. Though I myself have never had baby fever, im starting to question motherhood altogether. I’m at a point where friends are getting married, wanting to have kids and planning on freezing their eggs meanwhile I still feel like a child at heart. This book offers a peek behind the curtain of all that happens when going into a stage in life where one starts to question whether or not to have kids and beyond that, the socioeconomic factors at play when making these decisions. This book is so transparent and raw and unapologetically human, it has writing that captivates with both anecdotal truths and statistical evidence. I would recommend this book to everyone and anyone regardless of whether or not they have kids, want kids, don’t want kids, or haven’t even thought about kids.
