More stories of queer motherhood as a big punk adventure! More Michelle Tea! More nuanced appreciation of Scorpios! I loved this.

what a fun audiobook!! this author was super fun to listen to and i feel like her personality really shined through. i learned a lot about the various ways people can get pregnant outside of sex and boy was it a lot lol. this made me think a lot about the options i may have to utilize if/when i want kids. i feel like she spoke very candidly about everything which was admirable, and i loved hearing a queer person explaining their experiences in the medical setting with both optimism and criticism. 

would highly recommend if you want an interesting, slightly informational audiobook with a fun voice!

its a pretty interesting look at queer pregnancy i feel its a topic i never hear discussed very much, especially by ppl who have actually gone through it. perhaps bc i am nowhere near the age where i actually want kids lol
