If you feel totally alienated by the cutesy, sanctimonious tone of the 'motherhood industrial complex', this is the book for you. After getting accidentally pregnant in her twenties, Meaghan O'Connell realised that brutally honest, agenda-less resources on the emotional and existential impact of motherhood were nowhere to be found. In 'And Now We Have Everything', she offers a brave new perspective on the transition into motherhood. With her dark humour and a hair-trigger B.S. detector, Meaghan addresses the pervasive imposter syndrome that comes with unplanned pregnancy, the second adolescence of a changing postpartum body, the myth that giving birth is a 'magical' experience, the problem of sex post-baby, the strange push to make 'mom friends', and the fascinating weirdness of stepping into a new, not-yet-comfortable identity.
