Natasha Leggero
A “deeply, darkly funny” (Ali Wong, comedian and New York Times bestselling author) collection of insightful and razor-sharp essays on motherhood in our post-apocalyptic world from comedian Natasha Leggero.When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at forty-two after embarking on the grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldn’t help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right? And then, Should I be doing this if the world is about to end? In “by far the funniest book” (Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author) about parenting, Natasha explores themes like “geriatric” pregnancy, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise a brat), and more. Ultimately, Natasha determines that motherhood is worth it. After all, where do you think the next five generations of humans will be if the only people who are having kids don’t believe in science? The world deserves my children.

"This was a totally fine book. Once again I’ve found myself reading a book navel gazing about pregnancy and early motherhood, which I am very much over, so sometimes this book dragged on for me. If I read this when I was parenting small children I might have absolutely loved it. That said, the author has some unique takes that I haven’t heard in other motherhood focused reads, and her approach like that of so many comedians (somehow flippant, self deprecating, and extremely self aware, both separately and together) makes this an easy one for anyone to pick up, she is incredibly relatable even if your details are different than hers.
