This is a really important book but I found it dry and repetitive, despite being passionate about this topic. It’s structure and formatting (very long chapters sometimes) didn’t work for me and because of the repetition, I sometimes lost the point of the chapters.

This book is a wealth of information! Especially as someone living with endometriosis, I appreciated Dusenberry’s analysis and understanding of what it looks like for people who live with various chronic illnesses and how challenging it can be for them to get help. Great read, wish everyone medical student would read it.
