This was super cute unlike her earlier books. Still beautiful drawings but at least meaningful this time and not condescending.

Oh Lucy. You’re so honest with your comics, and I appreciate that you share your life with us. People usually only share in private, if at all and if ever. Thanks for all your vulnerability and courage. That’s some Brené Brown shiz right there ;-)

Knisley does it again! Graphic memoirs are always personal. Knisley's have always been amusing and entertaining, but this one is a more personal look at her experiences from sex education until giving birth to her son. She does not shy away from talking about her experience with birth control, miscarriages, and the complications she had during pregnancy and childbirth. Sprinkled throughout are vignettes about gynecological history and misconceptions about pregnancy and miscarriages.

By the end of this book, I have a newfound respect and admiration for Knisley.

Ps. If you are not following her on Instagram, you are missing out.
