Informative and interesting.
Written and presented in an easy ways

I’ve read a few books on female hormones recently, and I will admit this one isn’t necessarily my favourite but a good read nevertheless

This is a fascinating book that explained so much of what everyone goes through in normal life. It was a real eye-opener. Richly detailed and easy to follow.

This is a great book about hormones. It was extremely valuable and full of information that would be helpful to most women. I highly recommend this book.

This is a wonderful resource for women. I spent my time during COVID readjusting the way I present myself to the world - I pared back my makeup, relaxed my outfits, cleaned up my skincare routine - and I really focused on educating myself on the things that went on and into my body. This book seemed like a natural segue to better understand the actual workings of my body and my hormones. I really enjoyed Amy Thomson's 'Moody', and I've taken away a lot of valuable information. The cover is also gorgeous, making it a lovely book to have on display!

Firstly thank you to Netgalley and Random House, Vintage publishers for the ARC ebook of this book.

This book is a game changer and should be read by all. While the book is specifically aimed at women, Thompson does a good job of including everyone in her writing, taking time to highlight the hormonal experiences of transgender women and men and the problems that are still faced by black women. Medical conditions that affect or are affected by hormones are also included.

Each chapter explores a different way in which women's lives are affected by hormones, going into details about how hormonal cycles can be tracked and sound, evidence backed advice to improve hormone balance to be your most productive self. There is a good level of technicality to the book, making it accessible to a wide audience with varying levels of knowledge. The chapters are rounded off with short, succinct "takeaways" providing a helpful summary of information.

The writing itself, while highly informative, is laid back and even provides a giggle at some of the brutally honest truths.

This is definitely a book that I will be recommending to a lot of people!
