Publisher's Summary
Ever wonder what it would be like to have chosen a different life path? In these moments, looking back may be the best way forward.
Some People Have Real Problems, written by Brit Bennett, the New York Times best-selling author of The Vanishing Half, and performed by Tessa Thompson, is a darkly funny short story about one woman’s reflections on the routes she’s taken through life and the detours she’s made along the way.
Doubts and guilt swirl through her mind as she rides the train to her fertility appointment. Each stop stirs up introspective thoughts on her marriage, the loss of her baby, and the lover who got away—contemplations that push her ever closer to wondering if she’s made the right decisions.
This masterful tale is an intrinsically relatable, courageous journey of self-reflection. It reminds us that while life may not always go as planned, we all possess the strength to move ahead.

Refreshing
I love this little story. so complicated, neuanced and real. I have never heard a fertility story about Black people like this before. it really puts things into perspective for those of us who often do not see ourselves reflected in life around us.

The story was beautifully written, but I would have loved to have a more flushed out ending
