cw personal shit
3 stars
Meandering around a few topics that had heavy resonance with me - especially grappling with being in a straight-presenting relationship while queer and dealing with extremely violent PMS. Both of these topics have been such an exercise in shame-management for me, and there was something about her approach that didnt quite sit with me - but thats just my shit. I dont know if I'd recommend this, unless someone is specifically struggling with pmdd and looking to feel "less alone." I tend to self indulgently enjoy this style of nebulous autofiction-y memoir-y book, but I made the mistake of reading too many white women in a row and I'm feeling annoyed.
