What age is this book appropriate for, languagewise? Teens? Maybe get it into schools

Yes! There's some swearing (it's me) but all asterisked. I wrote it with an eye to it being in schools, the puberty stuff, and young women's mental health stuff, is amazing (and upsetting!)

Congratulations Polly, just purchased! Hoping to stay cool in the shade with a combo of reading it alongside the hum of Glastonbury in the background. With rosé….’Abroad’ can kiss my fat ass…..😏

So agree. Off to Scotland in a couple of weeks and cannot wait. Simple (long) drive with farm shop stop offs on the way. Can’t beat it.

Thank you for putting an index in your book. You and your publishers are stars for doing it. It makes your book even more useful because it helps the reader know what is covered and what isn’t (give or take different uses in terminology etc) and where to find it.

Never would have occurred to me to do anything else!

Hi Polly,

So am half way through the book. Index is brilliant because I went straight to the peri menopause/ menopause section. I then went back through the hormones.Now I'm flitting between sections

It's absolutely brilliant, really well written and so much resonates with me now in my body but also my younger self.

I wish I had this book when I was going through puberty, pregnancy and beyond.

It would have helped me so much!

So thank you and welll done. I'm going to buy one for my daughter (aged 28) and it will now be the book I give my female friend/ nieces for 2025/2026 birthdays.❤️❤️👏

That really makes my heart sing! I think going back through your own past and understanding in retrospect what was happening to you physically is really useful. It’s a bit like health therapy. You can be much kinder to yourself.

But what a gorgeous message! Thank you, you’ve made my day xxx

Thought I responded, but quite possibly put it in the wrong thread, such is the result of 3am insomnia. We are in Colorado.

Honestly can't beat a bit of (well-informed) fanny chat. Bonus: have done way more kegels than I normally would with first coffee of morning. Will purchase the book.

Love it! And have the whole book waiting for me on my bedside table. It arrived on preorder. I’ve been saving it. But will now eschew the saving and go straight to the diving in as a result of vagina fascination.

Oh I love that! Thank you! ‘Diving in’ in conjunction with ‘vagina fascination’ is sublime.
