4.0

Such an informative memoir about pregnancy and childbirth. Even though my birth and pregnancy weren’t quite as eventful as Lucy’s I was still able to relate so much her words and drawings. I felt so seen and heard.

Always delightful to read Knisley’s work. I’ve been a fan since I was probably a bit young to read her work but I’m thankful to my mom for introducing me to her. Met her at a signing once (Dark Tower Comics), she drew me some sushi (so cool). I would’ve appreciated a nod of context to Black women’s influence on midwifery and the context of misogynoir in the creation of gynecology and I’m glad she included a detail about Black maternal mortality rates. All in all, a lovely blend of reproductive history and experience which felt like a reassuring hug after a fruitful venting session.

A beautifully created memoir. Occasionally sad, often funny, always informative, this book portrays conception and pregnancy with realism and attention to detail that's often lacking.

I loved this depiction of the transition from being a person without to being a person with a child. Touching and also very informative. I learned new facts and could nod along with the information I was already aware of. Always happy to read a graphic memoir!
