I think I was expecting something more about society in general rather than a personal examination by the author. This book may be cathartic or enlightening for some. I found it oscillated between emphatically declaring that there is nothing wrong with not having children and very intense examination of childhood trauma that may have "caused" the author to not want children. As I don't feel traumatised or in need of a personal reason for my life, it did not resonate with me.
