What Fresh Hell Is This?: Perimenopause, Menopause, Other Indignities, and You by Heather Corinna

3.0
Loved how inclusive it was. I think maybe reading it while I’m going through peri/menopause would be more helpful. It was very detailed and I just got lost in them.

A helpful book written in a fun, irreverent style, with lots of helpful scientific and historical information. It's very real, and sometimes feel a bit dire - "this all feels horrible!!!" She does not take a side on hormone therapy, which apparently is a fraught issue, she just shares information. There are lots of lists - symptoms, aggravating factors, ways to alleviate symptoms, etc. It did feel a bit long - I skimmed a lot. She shares a lot of her own experience too, as a non-gendered person, so the book is very inclusive of all kinds of bodies and hormonal backgrounds. I will probably be looking back on this book over the next ten (or twenty? Corinna cites data that some women take decades to go through these hormone changes!) years.

Trying to get prepared for the inevitable. Funny, body-positive & completely accepting of a wide variety of identities and circumstances. I will definitely keep this in mind as a reference.
