challenging informative reflective medium-paced

4.5

A really essential book - relatable, infuriating and hopeful. Lots of case studies and anecdotes make it quite readable but some chapters have a lot of information on different topics in quick succession which make it a bit difficult to digest at times. Overall thoroughly recommend!

Really good book, a little bit of a tough read.  Focused mainly on the field of gynaecology.
