(reviewed with the caveats that I'm not a medical professional, I do have personal knowledge of peri-menopause but only my own!)

I love this book. It's written with very clear plain language, and explains terms and phrases as you go along. It's split up into various sections, and it repeats the basic things in each section. Usually I'd roll my eyes at this, but it does mean if someone picks it up and just goes direct to only 1 section, they'd still get the info they need.

I had a vague idea about most of the information included here, but it was really nice to be able to see it laid out comprehensively from a trusted source. It also included lots of 'alternative' treatments and help, and gave honest seeming opinions on their usefulness.

Overall I'd happily recommend this, my only slight complaint is that I'm in the UK, not the US, so some of the brand or medical care specific parts aren't relevant or helpful to me, but that's a very small complaint.

I received an advance copy for free from NetGalley, on the expectation that I would provide an honest review.
