4.5

Definitely one of the better menopause books I’ve encountered. I particularly appreciate the section on finding the right doctor and preparing for your visit. It’s one I’d like to get a physical copy of so I can refer back to it as needed, especially given all the symptoms listed.

A great read! I appreciated learning more about early reality tv and thinking more about the labor implications of reality tv, not just for the cast but for the writers and crew.

The concept is great and there is a lot of valuable info here, though it’s not always super realistic, depending on your socioeconomic status, lifestyle, work schedule, accessibility needs, etc.

I did not plan on reading that in one sitting, but here we are. Absolutely no regrets - could not have picked a better first book for 2025.
