If you're feeling disconnected from the cutesy, sanctimonious tone of the motherhood industrial complex, this is the book for you. After accidentally becoming pregnant in her twenties, Meaghan O'Connell realized that there was a lack of brutally honest, agenda-free resources available on the emotional and existential impact of motherhood. In her book, "And Now We Have Everything," she offers a fresh perspective on the transition into motherhood. With her dark humor and a keen BS detector, Meaghan tackles the pervasive imposter syndrome that accompanies unplanned pregnancy, the second adolescence of a changing postpartum body, the myth that giving birth is a magical experience, the challenges of sex post-baby, the pressure to form mom friends, and the intriguing weirdness of stepping into a new, yet-to-be-comfortable identity.

Addressing the fears and anxieties of Millennial women in an unflinchingly frank, funny, and visceral manner, Meaghan fills a void in the discussion on motherhood, identity, and what it truly means to be ready. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to navigate the complexities of becoming a mother in a modern world.
