This book gives a complete overview of everything people with vaginas need to know. However there were a few issues regarding where Dr. Gunter clearly is very opinionated and that soured my view on several topics.

I wish I had this book when I was a preteen so I would have understood my body, what is medically normal and what treatment and routine medical appointments should be like. I wish all young people, regardless of gender, to read this book and have the basic facts. There is nothing "dirty" about this book. I'm very factual and educational. I'm happy to have this and gained a greater understanding of my bodyelizlizabeth's review against another edition

Very informative, I would recommend if you have a vagina or are partnered with someone who does and want to learn more about your body, or your partner's body. The tone is lighthearted, so it's a pleasant and quick read.
This is not a general encyclopedia because it shifts so often to US medical system and data that advice could not be applied to your own country, but it definitely gives a good starting point.
