Somewhere along the way, millions of women stop recognizing themselves. We learn about puberty. We’re taught about pregnancy. We hear about menopause. But the nearly decade-long transition in between? Mostly crickets. It’s Probably Perimenopause brings together the hormone expertise of Dr. Carrie Jones and the storytelling instincts of writer Carrie Anton in the straight-talking guide women have been missing. No medical jargon. No shame. No endless rabbit holes. Just clear answers, practical strategies, a healthy dose of humor, and the reassuring reminder that you’re not imagining things—and you’re definitely not alone. You’ll come for the answers. But you’ll stay for the moments that make you say, “Wait . . . that’s perimenopause too?” (Answer: Probably.)
I have read a couple of books on perimenopause over the last year or so because I am getting to that age where it is becoming a factor for me. The last one I read was highly informative, but it was a bit of a science-heavy slog and a bit worrying in tone as it described all the possible issues that could occur. In contrast, It's Probably Perimenopause was a little more lighthearted. It was still informative, but the information was presented in a less complex way, in bite-sized chunks and with plenty of humour. This made it more easily understandable and lightened the sense of doom and gloom. The bright, colourful and fun layout made it easy reading, the tone was that of a friendly chat, and the little quizzes were amusing and useful. The way the book was set out, with different issues split into their own sections, meant that you could choose to read cover to cover or dip in as needed to look up a symptom that might be worrying you. All up, this is probably my favourite of the books I have read on the topic so far because it was the most easily approachable while still offering detailed and useful information. I am giving it 4.5 stars.
I received this book as a free eBook ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
