Hot and Bothered: What No One Tells You about Menopause and How to Feel Like Yourself Again by Jancee Dunn

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy to review. I was interested in reading this for two reasons: the title and the subject. I've been noticing menopause being talked about more by celebrities in the last few years and other than hot flashes and the inability to have kids I didn't know much about it. Interviewing menopause experts and sharing her own journey, she shares the who, what, where, when, and whys of menopause. I noticed several times I was annoyed at her "just find __ (medication, doctor, skin care item) and all will be better" tone. It was odd because she also acknowledges that there are barriers to quality care (lack of insurance, sexism, racism, etc). This will hopefully keep the conversation going on how to provide quality healthcare for all stages of life.
