I know the purpose of the book is to challenge us into thinking about how we treat feminine hygiene in comparison to men's but a lot of it is just plain gross and kinda unhealthy. Listen, regardless of sex, if you don't wash yourself after you pee then you're nasty. If you don't wash yourself down there while taking a shower then you're also nasty. There is a reason why we stay clean.

I still do not know what to really think about this book but I'm still thinking about it weeks after reading it. While sometimes a litte tiresome, i loved the stream of consciousness narration of Helen for the most part and really liked the jump between her 'gross' thoughts and her trauma

about her mother's suicide attempt
