From Lynn Berger, cofounder of the international journalist platform The Correspondent, Second Thoughts is a lovely, searching meditation on second children―on whether to have one and what it means to be one―that seamlessly weaves pieces of art and culture on the topic with scientific research and personal anecdotes.The decision to have more than one child is at least as consuming as the decision to have a child at all―and yet for all the good books that deliberate on the choice of becoming a mother, there is far less writing on the choice of becoming a mother of two, and all the questions that arise during the process. Is there any truth in the idea of character informed by birth order, or the loneliness of only children? What is the reality of sibling rivalry?
