Not only is this a love story, it felt like a love letter to Baltimore which is where I’m from. From everything from Berger cookies to crab chips I just felt so at home with this book.

(Just realizing I wrote labor in a book about pregnancy lol) anyway there isn’t a lot of witchcraft in this book if that’s what you’re really looking for. It’s mostly about the baby scoop era before Roe V Wade. Also for an author who cannot have children, he made the childbirth scenes so graphic and gross and disgusting and horrible but in a good way.
