Feels like mandatory reading for women between 25-35. A deep dive into British female friendships, motherhood and being a woman. Also birth control in book form
I saw someone else describe this as an “affectionate slap in the face” and I think that summarises it pretty well. I’m a sucker for a book on female friendships and as I myself approach my 30th birthday this year, it came at a good time.
A good breakdown of how our bodies work, backed with interesting, easy to swallow science and reflection on the effects of modern diets in general, however there was a weird thread of general fatphobia and severe lack of acknowledgement of the impact of food poverty and the need for many people to rely on cheap, processed foods.
