Getting people talking about taboo topics like vaginal pain is so important and I applaud Lara Parker for doing it! I cannot imagine the courage it takes to do so publicly under your own name, and her work is meant a lot to me.
However, this book could have been stronger with an editor who trimmed more aggressively. This book could have been 50 pages shorter and stronger for it by trimming down some repetition. That said, I highly recommend you check it out, and might suggest reading it chapter by chapter as if these were essays, rather than all in one go.
