Vagina Problems

2 stars

After reading some other reviews, I've decided to DNF this at 18% (~40 pages). After the introduction and two chapters, I feel like I've already read everything Parker is going to say. This is an incredibly repetitive book, with some of the exact same phrases being repeated word-for-word over and over again. As someone with “vagina problems” I did find some of this very relatable and I fully agree that it's a vital topic to talk about – but Parker's writing is clearly better suited to blog posts than a full-length book. And I'm sure her blog posts are very worthwhile and will bring a lot of awareness to the disorders she suffers from! But I can't say this is a book I recommend reading. I'd actually point to Ask Me About My Uterus for a better read about vagina problems (specifically endometriosis). I'm really disappointed that Vagina Problems didn't work out for me and I want to acknowledge that Lara Parker is doing important work – this book just didn't quite hit the mark.
