Perfect for you if...

You work in healthcare and want a book that captures the gallows humour and genuine humanity of that world.
You're curious about what actually happens in a maternity ward, told by someone who's lived it.
You enjoy character-driven stories about people doing demanding jobs with wit and heart intact.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a traditional plot with high stakes drama or a shocking twist.
You prefer fiction that stays squarely in one genre without blending memoir-style observation with narrative.
You want a deep romance or relationship arc as the central focus.

About this book

Emily McCoy is a third-year resident working in Baby City, the nickname for the busy Labor and Delivery unit at a New York City hospital. She delivers more babies than the hours of sleep she manages each night, and far more than the number of dates she has had since beginning her OB/GYN training two years ago. As Emily works to safely deliver baby after baby into the world, she learns three hard truths about Baby City: babies never arrive when you want them to, they always arrive when you don't want them to, and you don't know who your true friends are until your baby is sliding down the birth canal.
