“Women over 40 give birth to 4% of all babies. 75% of those are unplanned—In part because many women assume they can no longer get pregnant. Many women In perimenopause ovulate more than once a month, which can also make it harder to predict fertility.”

Final #roll100 read for Feb and also scored a line in #bookspinbingo recovering from surgery and not being able to do anything has its advantages as gives me lots of reading time!

Really enjoyed this, loved the prose, and there were a couple of twists that I did not see coming. Really interesting subject too.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Hope you are on the mend!! 4mo

This one seems to have a lot of mixed reviews, but I loved it. It somehow sucked me in completely, despite some of the maybe farfetched events.

SqueakyChu I agree with you. I really liked this book when I read it (a long time ago!). 4mo

Not my favorite Patchett. Interesting premise, great ending, but a lot of meandering in the middle. Became a slog. But the ending was a worthy payoff. Recommended if you love Patchett‘s writing style already.

“Full of big ideas and marvellously peculiar characters.” Oh I did love this. It was quiet, gentle, crazy, peculiar, completely absorbing. I fell hard for all those characters and it broke my heart 🐍

LeeRHarry It‘s my favourite Ann Patchett - glad you enjoyed it. 😊 8mo
JillR I did, it felt very different from the other books of hers I‘ve read. I‘ll be starting Tom Lake soon. 8mo
Hooked_on_books This one and Tom Lake are my two favorites of hers so far, though I do have a few on her back list still to get to. 8mo
JillR @Hooked_on_books I‘ve got Tom Lake waiting to be read; I‘ve previously read and enjoyed The Dutch House and Commonwealth 8mo

Really enjoyed this unique plot with all its drug discovery research aspects. This is a journey amidst Amazon forest with all the wonders & dangers where both self discovery & drug discovery goes hand in hand. I like the characterisation & intricate details ( ignoring some science facts, as it is fiction) This is my first 5 star read of the year 🥰😊😀
