Thank you so much for the work you're doing here. I have needed on a visceral level to know just how angry other people are about this, because to say I am incandescent with rage about the overturn of Roe is an understatement. I will definitely be buying your book. Again, thank you so much.

I seriously can't wait. SHe's a slut, he's a stud, literally changed my life. The Purity Myth was also eye opening and amazing. All your books are, I have them all and am so beyond pumped to purchase and proudly display the new one, after reading of course. Let's stay mad people.

Congratulations!!! I'm a bookstore owner in western NC (Off the Wall Books N Cafe) and would love to get an ARC if possible so I can promote more effectively... how is the best way to go about requesting one?

Men must be excluded from voting on laws which only concern women. Every day Men sashay off and get vasectomies without women having a vote in the matter. So how come we have to ask permission and risk being be rebuffed..or arrested? It is my considered opinion that Men should butt out of matters concerning abortion!

Oh, this makes me so happy! I mean, I hate that a book like this is needed. But, if there is one person I'd have to handpick to write it, it is absolutely you, Jessica! Thank you and congratulations! (And, bookseller about to take my money!)

CONGRATULATIONS! I plan to order one & also buy as Xmas gifts.

Things I learned this year about new authors publishing a book - after JV’s book is out: 1. we should all write reviews on any site that carries it. 2. You don’t have to use your actual name on Amazon book reviews. You can use initials or whatever you come up with. Maybe it’s the same for other stores? 3. Go to your local library and ask for it. The more requests they receive, the better chance it will go on their order list.

Jessica, might consider purchasing a webpage. Be strategic in name. When people google abortion, if done correctly your name or the book name will show up in the search engine. Just a thought if interested.

Jessica - Will you be doing a book tour? If you come to Austin, Texas, please try to have a reading at the local feminist bookstore, Bookwoman! I'd love to see you there!
