- Destigmatizing infertility and in vitro fertilization: there are very few books about in vitro fertilization! Zapata’s story makes an often-taboo subject more visible and offers information that others with the same experience have few other ways to access.
- Demand for honest stories about pregnancy: Jazmina Barrera’s Linea Nigra and Michelle Tea’s Knocking Myself Up have both been enthusiastically welcomed by readers and critics alike. Like them, Zapata is frank about the complex physical and emotional realities of choosing to have a child, getting pregnant, and being pregnant.
- Explodes the diary form: in a market full of variations on the narrative essay form, Zapata instead reimagines the diary, carrying on the tradition of Sarah Manguso’s Ongoingness and Heidi Julavits’s The Folded Clock.
- For readers of Rivka Galchen, Sheila Heti, Elisa Albert, Belle Boggs, and Jenny Offil.
