Different view Point
What I liked about this read was that it seemed like a genuine thoughts and feelings and emotions of a women whom both Society and herself had this image of. She was going thru changes and documented her experience as a queer, butch women which honestly how often can we say that side of things gas been spoken about.Overall its a good read I would read again and share with others. It’s a fun but informative read.

Deserves more than three stars, but currently suffers from criminally bad formatting
I like the art style, but currently, the book seems to be missing half its pages. To be fair, they're not exactly missing - it's just that every alternate page has been rendered as a teeny tiny thumbnail below the main page. Took me a while to realize this - I just assumed the story wasn't meant to be a single coherent narrative but a bunch of peeks into the life of the author/main character during this period in their life. I figured the little pictures at the bottom of each page were just, I dunno, thumbnails for the next page (hey, stranger things have happened). However, some of them contained enough detail for me to finally figure out that they were neither a copy of the current page nor the next one.Maybe this works OK on the Kindle Fire or the PC reader, but on the e-reader, it is crap. Hopefully, they will fix this, because this book deserves more than three stars.

A unique perspective
I throughly enjoyed the author's humorous and truthful style of story telling. The graphic novel, in three parts, documents the fictional (although based on real events) pregnancy of Teek, a butch lesbian, and her partner Vee. The graphic novel bluntly describes the struggles of pregnancy-- on the body and the mind of the main character. Pregnant Butch contains unglorified depictions of pregnancy and the pregnant butch body. While I am not a lesbian nor have I ever been pregnant, but I still found this story to be very relatable and enjoyable. Worth a read.

Right on...
This book hit on more things I relate to than anything else I've read in pregnancy.... and I've read a lot. I really appreciated the forward acknowledging the ways in which an experience sits in a particular moment in history. Still even as a transgender man doing this pregnancy thing around the same age 10 years later, so much is relatable and on point.A bucket load off thanks to AK Summers for sharing her experiences in smart and well illustrated ways.

Great book
I really enjoyed reading this book, and could especially relate to the author's experience of pregnancy redefining her identity - both how others saw her and the ways in which she had to alter her life as her body was altered through pregnancy. My only complaint was in some cases a jarring lack of transitions between sections of the book.

Fantastic! Get this book.
Never written a review before, but had to for this unbelievably wonderful graphic memoir. The artwork is amazing. I'm a straight parent of three, and I can say unreservedly that this is a universal story albeit told from a very personal point of view. Summers shies away from nothing and exposes the dark underbelly (so to speak) of pregnancy and childbirth, while also being laugh-out-loud funny. The only bummer about this book is that it was over too soon. Can't wait for more from this author/artist.

Get It For All Your Preg Friends
Have this to my pregnant gay best friend. Didn’t come in time for her shower, but it was the perfect gift to give as a joke... but she did love the story and that it was a coloring book.

A different (and not so different) take on the experience of being pregnant
I'm pretty sure this is the first book which delves into the issues of being pregnant while wrestling with gender identity issues (at least the first graphic novel on the subject!) yet many of its themes are universal: the changes to our bodies and to our relationships with our partners.

Great perspective
This is a really fresh perspective, and really touches on a lot of points bother pregnancy memoirs don't, very charming.
