I selected this book based solely on the title and it being recommended to me by StoryGraph. It ended up being a very solid read. I appreciated a lot about its treatment of a difficult topic. Hermione’s relationship to her memories was very nuanced and effective, and as a therapist I appreciated her psychiatrist’s approach. 

The no nonsense, no dilemma approach to
abortion
was also supremely well-handled and I am grateful for it. And the strong friendships in the text were something I wish anyone facing these experiences had access to.
