In Search of Baby and Retail Therapy: Chloé Caldwell’s New Memoir Has It All!

Chloé Caldwell is back with her new memoir, *Trying*, and it’s a wild ride through the ups and downs of infertility. While most stories seem to trot out the happy ending of a newborn bundle of joy, Caldwell dives headfirst into the emotional chaos that can come with longing for motherhood. In her signature candid style, she invites readers along as she navigates relationships, the heartache of loss, and—yes—retail therapy. Because if you’re going to deal with heartbreak, you might as well stock up on a few nice skincare products, right?

What makes this memoir stand out is just how relatable Caldwell is about the struggles she faces while trying to start a family. It’s not all doom and gloom; there’s humor tucked between her candid observations on life, love, and the absurd lengths we sometimes go to for comfort. Caldwell’s ability to connect through messy experiences and unexpected humor makes this memoir not just a gripping read but also a comforting companion for those going through similar challenges.

So, what do you think? Are stories about infertility always expected to follow a neat narrative arc, or is it more interesting when they break the mold? After all, isn’t life a bit messier than happily ever after? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!
