Welcome to Litsy!

I absolutely loved this graphic memoir! 10/10 The incredible artwork accentuates how Summers‘ pregnancy pushed her out of her comfort zone in so many different ways, challenging her perception of herself and the people around her constantly. I really appreciated the depictions of each stage of the pregnancy, from DIY home insemination, through birthing classes, to the birth of her son. Add to that a marvelous sense of humor. Just wonderful!

“‘Actually Mr. Duggins, I have gained weight—the reason is that I‘m going to have a baby.‘ Does anyone else have conversations like this with your landlord? … My privacy was gone.”

In the intro to this graphic memoir, Summers writes about the positive shift in public attitudes towards homosexuality and trans people. ⬇️

This really was a between “so-so“ and “pick“ for me. I think its a good book for what it is. And the being pregnant while identifying as masculine thing isn't talked about and should. And not that ever book I read I need to relate (because really... do I relate to Pennywise!?) but... this one just was hard for me to relate to. But... I think it still has something to say. #PrideMonth #LGBTQ

Picked this one up for #PrideMlonth while scrolling on Libby for any #LGBTQ+ titles. Graphic Novels are a perfect pace for me lately. So I figured I could read this one in between doing my laundry and all that good stuff :)
