I enjoy her books generally and I know I shouldn't compare but I feel like her other books have stronger characters and ideas conveyed. Though I did enjoy the moments of introspection a lot! It's a very good book either way, just not the best I've read. But I'd still recommend it!

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.
