A review by watermelleon
The Ins and Outs of My Vagina by Karin Freeland

emotional funny informative lighthearted reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Everyone who knows a vagina in their lives must read this!!!

Absolutely wonderful!! Karin has a wonderful, easy style of writing that made this book effortless to read. I am so thankful for her openness and honestly in sharing her story as I have seen the impact of this first hand! 

I can only review this through the eyes of someone else: I did not know about this author or book before this was recommended (then subsequently loaned to me) by a wonderful work colleague. He brought this to our bookclub rather nervously, and explained how he had previously heard Karin talk on a podcast and felt immediately drawn to this book, despite very rarely reading anything! One flight to the USA later, and he had finished the whole thing. 

He explained how Karins open and raw writing taught him things he never knew about topics that are never talked about such as miscarriage and giving birth, and that this book changed his life and general sense of understanding with women. I can absolutely see this book being a key educational tool for many young boys and men, and I wish it was more well known!! 

This book is written in a very real way, that still presents as a good education on vaginal health and experiences without being overly crude. 

Disclaimer: did my best to do a terf check before reading this and nothing came up for the author on Google or in the book when I looked.
