I found this book very informative. There was so much about how birth control works that I was not aware of. Sarah Hill writes in a way that is insightful and research based, without being too dry, boring, or scienc-y. From this book I learned a lot about hormones, and my biggest takeaways were:
1. You are your hormones. Hormones are what make you unique. So when the birth control pill works by flatlining your homones, it changes who you essentially are.
2. Everyone experiences birth control differently. How it makes me feel will be different from anyone else.
3. Women are where we are in society because of birth control. We have careers, we have children if and when we are ready, and we can have more dreams and goals than any generation before us. So thank you birth control.
But that doesn't mean that I want to take that little pill any more...
This is a worthwhile read for any woman who has taken birth control, is taking birth control, or is thinking about taking birth control. We need to know more about what it does and how it controls our body!
