I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
F, I am just crying right now. Those last pages were an emotion rollercoaster in which we find out so many things, all the things get connected. I just broke. That was just heartbreaking. The rest of the book was wonderful, an unique look at gynaecology and what could change. How we should treat women during pregnancy and other parts of their life. I wasn't a fan of Jean for about 50% of the book so that is why I am rating this a bit lower. How she acted around the patients. LORD, girl, I just wanted to punch her (and that says a lot as I don't like violence). She was rude, smirked, sneered, and at times couldn't control her mouth. I just was so pissed. I am glad that as the story goes on she mellows and learns other ways, but for 50% of the book I considered just dropping the book. Despite it being very interesting, heartbreaking, and well written. I loved that we got some more backstory on some patients and also on Jean and her being intersex.
Art was pretty good!
