I feel like there were a lot of misconceptions and generalizations and even some bizarre medical advice. (Medical advice given by one of the character's doctors that is totally wrong, but honestly many women do get crap advice about sexual health from their doctors so it isn't outside the realm of possibility.) It was like all the the stereotypical shallow level arguments about choosing not to have kids and being pro-choice without a lot of deeper looks at any one idea. Interesting, albeit occasionally perplexing to me, viewpoints and rationalizations and not enough statement of "your reproductive life is not up for other people's judgement and we make the best choices for us." Art style is very cute. Topics covered are very important. It just maybe feels like it doesn't bring anything original or especially insightful to the conversation except adding artwork. I understand how it can be comforting and enlightening for others so definitely one to check out if this is a topic that is important to you, but for me it just fell a little short from what I was hoping it would be.
