After Birth is a bit of a strange book. It's about Ari a year after she has given birth, but it also reflects on her pregnancy and her past friendships with women. She's not a likable character at all, she has a history of having issues with women, she hates them, and now she is suffering from postpartum depression and projecting her mothering views onto people. Ari is very isolated and is just looking for something to hold onto. There's lots of humor in the writing and honest feelings that I think most people can relate to some of them in some way. I loved how sometimes things didn't make sense and her logic was circular at times because that's what its like to have a mental illness, it doesn't have to make sense, its a rush unexplainable mess at times.
