Going it Alone

Amos Lassen

I never thought that I would enjoy reading a book about a lesbian being pregnant, but I must say I absolutely loved Andrea Askowitz’s “My Miserable, Lonely, Lesbian Pregnancy”. It is tremendously funny and honest at the same time as well as being a bit “naughty”.
There is no question in my mind that Andrea Askowitz is what we call a “Jewish American princess” or more familiarly a jap. She is unmarried and she is a loner. More important is that she decided to become a mother even though she is not in a relationship and still is upset that our last affair did not work out. But she is a lesbian and she is proud of that. Her adventures and misadventures had me smiling the entire time that I read her book.
She also provides us with some valuable information like an alternative view to reproduction and how a lesbian with a liberal bend feels about becoming a parent. I came out of this book really liking not only the book but the author as well. It’s a fun read so get a copy and see for yourself.
