My Review

This book of cartoons is exactly what it promises to be: “A No-Advice-Given Guide to Motherhood, with Drawings.” I’m 37 weeks pregnant and felt like this was a gift to me from Finck. I felt deeply seen by the parts of the journey I’d already experienced, validated by the parts of the process that are honestly shown as truly no fun at all, and buoyed by the prospect of a future that is going to be hard but also rewarding. Plus, it was dang funny.

This would make a fantastic baby shower gift for any expecting mother in your life.
