There is a lot of useful information in this book and it is good to see recognition of different impacts on different races. The book offers an open conversation starter about a subject which is often ignored or only whispered about, I found the book quite repetitive and there was a lot of promotional content, whether to the author’s own products/site or others.

This book is so detailed and informative. I like how it describes different symptoms for different people. The writing style is easy to read. A great book to read for all women. Women really should know more about their body. A terrific way to woman to learn the basics and discuss with physicians.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

Another title for this book could be 'What to Expect When You're Blindsided by Perimenopause'. The fact that spell-check doesn't recognize the word and the author's own GP dismissed her when she asked about this issue in her late 30s is proof enough that there isn't enough information out there on this stage of females' lives (that can last up to 15 years) and that general health care providers are woefully underprepared to help address this issue. Why are we NOT talking about this?! Ms Sweeney provides a plethora of information resources and support networks. So glad I found this resource when I did. Ms Sweeney lays out what symptoms to look for as well as a game-plan to make sure you are ready when perimnopause strikes. I finally feel like I have some answers about what I've been experiencing. A must-read for any woman 25-35 years of age.

An interesting guide to perimenopause. I do see the audience being somewhat limited. If you’re not going through it. You’re going to avoid the topic for as long as you can.
