  • "Touching, witty, startlingly clever, and above all else honest, Milk and Blood explores pregnancy, post-partum, and into the beyond through the lens of a woman who could have known more, and wishes that she did, but has no regrets at all about it. Milk and Blood is a pitch perfect debut by author Jade Kim Monsen."

  • "It’s not just about the joys of parenthood, but it really digs into the fears and struggles—things we all think but rarely say out loud. What I loved most is that it focuses on both partner's experiences, the birthing and non-birthing parent, showing how all the uncertainty plays out in real life. It’s honest, raw, and somehow comforting because it reflects my own fears and questions back to me. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, and this book made me feel seen."

  • "The beautiful illustrations interspersed throughout the chapters added to the book’s charm. My favorite part was the letter written by Evelyn (the mother) and Henry (the father) to their child. I was nearly in tears reading it; the love from the parents was palpable throughout the book."

  • "I highly recommend every new mom be gifted or pick up this book. It will be your honest guide and if not simply your shoulder to cry on. This book and it’s memorable quotes will be forever saved in my memory log that I hope to one day pass on to my daughters so that they may relive the joy I did reading this as a mother. "
