Vagina Problems: Endometriosis, Painful Sex, and Other Taboo Topics by Lara Parker
2.0
There was so much that this book COULD have done to highlight the many issues that women face, especially when it comes to vagina problems. I was looking forward to this book as an informative non-fiction read that uses statistics and specific diagnoses that women receive.
Rather than being informative though, this book read as a long complaint of chronic pain. I almost feel that a two-star rating is generous, but Lara Parker has obviously helped many people (women especially) by talking about the issues that she has faced with the multiple diagnoses she has received for the pain that she feels.
If you are looking for one personal example of a woman who has suffered because of her vagina, I recommend this book. This book may help you recognize that you are not on your own. Note that her stories are repetitive- she retells the same stories in each of the chapters and this book would have been better at half the length.
Thank you Netgalley and St. Martin's Press for an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
