So good! It surprised me about MYSELF. Things I've thought about, things I haven't considered, and things I've experienced all in one. So real and so valuable.
I listened to a podcast interview of the author and it was interesting. Unfortunately, the graphic novel is much less interesting and much more internal angst about identity.

A fun and very charming read about one butch's journey through getting pregnant, pregnancy, and having the dang thing. I loved the art, which veers wildly between styles depending on the author's feelings, and her visual references to Tintin and Love & Rockets (she's obviously very influenced by Los Bros. Hernandez). Beyond the obvious "oh man, pregnancy is so weird; why am I crying again" observations, Summers provides a fascinating view into what it's like being a nonfeminine-looking butch lesbian doing basically the most gendered thing possible. Oh, and I totally didn't realize being a "butch" is becoming passé!
I fucking loved this book, more than all the hetero memoirs of pregnancy I've ever read. I'm pretty far from butch but the queer pregnant experience is so very. This meant a lot to me.
The book is funny, well-paced and interesting. It's introspective but never irritating. I loved it.

Very insightful. I enjoyed reading this. It's hard to find books about LGBTQ+ pregnancy experiences.
This book was well drawn and pretty funny! I think she makes some observations on "what is in these days" and "what the kids say is correct" that aren't true, but, it's her opinion I guess. This makes me want a comic anthology about masc pregnancies. I wouldn't buy this book, but I'll keep it in mind if any of my butch friends get pregnant.

it was an interesting insight about pregnancy from the perspective of a queer person, how they were able to get pregnant despite being lesbians, and how that pregnancy felt like being different from heteronormativity. Not a big fan on the weird shitting on trans men, how they are 'killing the butches' by allowing people to transition, but otherwise I liked the comic.
This was okay but the strange transphobic rant in the middle felt completely out of place and also ruined it for me.
