Strange Bedfellows: Adventures in the Science, History, and Surprising Secrets of STDs by Ina Park

adventurous funny hopeful informative medium-paced

5.0

Dr. Ina Park takes a look at the history and trajectory of some of the major STIs that affect contemporary life. She uses just the right amount of humor to bring you into the fold and most of the time it feels like she’s just chatting with you as her patient (while it’s meticulously researched). Fabulous book that makes the reader want to be informed about sexual health and help combat some of the unfortunate stigmas that exist. Highly recommend! You’ll giggle a lot and learn even more (even if you have some working knowledge of STIs). Many connections to understanding the covid-19 pandemic too, like the origins of contact tracing.
