Letters to an Embryo is a very introspective memoir about the author's journey with her frozen embryo after a divorce. This was super vulnerable and had great insight into the mindset of someone going through IVF but with extra complications. I was worried the whole book that by the time we got to embryo transfer it would fail and the rest of the book would be about parsing through grief. Overall, a very interesting read. 4/5 stars.
