Please read this one if you have any chronic illness/pain, but especially if you have vagina problems!
Reread 2023: still love this book! Changing my initial review from 5⭐️ to 4⭐️. Some things I noticed this time around: Sex is the main topic in this book, which can be depressing and even bothersome to someone who isn’t sexually active. And I almost feel like the author looks down on people who decide to treat their endometriosis through surgery… because it didn’t work for her, she may think it won’t work for others? Regardless, it’s still a good book with lots of relatable details and information about different vagina problems!

However, this book could have been stronger with an editor who trimmed more aggressively. This book could have been 50 pages shorter and stronger for it by trimming down some repetition. That said, I highly recommend you check it out, and might suggest reading it chapter by chapter as if these were essays, rather than all in one go.

CW: all things medical, death of a friend
I laughed, I cried, I felt so incredibly seen. I would recommend this book to literally everyone because you either have a chronic illness and can relate to so much of Lara's words, or you don't but you should read this so you can be aware of what folks experience on a daily basis.
