I'm very impressed with the writers ability to keep any sort of bias out of it while still being able to let the reader know that if it's something you're going through and you feel sad about it, that's perfectly okay, just as much as if you feel completely at ease with it, that's just as okay. The author took great pains to write an unbiased, very supportive book for those who may be experiencing abortion themselves, or they know someone. It's also just a great informational book to understand from beginning to end the process of abortion and some potential feelings that could be associated. Seriously one of my favorite graphic novels.

Just the facts
Straightforward and factual, this book covers the details of a medical procedure without adding any personal or political opinion. It's a graphic novel, but the drawings are not cutesy, and there is an overall seriousness to the presentation. Nicely done.

Great book, binding cut off photos
The binding cut off some of the photos, but it's a great read. Thank you for creating this story. Maybe for future edition, plan for binding when doing the illustrations?

An Interesting and Quick Read
This book reminded me a lot of the game "I'm Positive". That game dealt with how one deals with HIV and Aids. It was a video game that dealt with the issue so it was easy to digest. This novel is the same way. It's easy to read but filled with information that I never knew about. Now I know.

It was a great read; very emotional and raw
It was a great read; very emotional and raw. I liked that it didn't get into politics and explained the process quite clearly. The illustrations were simple but full of feeling. Great book all around, would recommend to anyone considering an abortiom or going through the abortion process, or really anyone with a uterus.

Great book on a difficult topic
LOVE this book! Abortion is a very devisive topic and I wouldn't recommend buying this book for your hard core pro-life family members. However, it's a wonderfully written text for those who want more info on the topic. The facts are all correct and there's no judgement about those who choose to (or not) have an abortion. As a human sexuality instructor I highly recommend this book for teenage readers and above.

A clever approach to hard topic
A clever approach to hard topic. I loved the illustrations and the empathy...it was as accurate as my own personal experience. Highly recommended!
