Does the word ‘endometriosis’ make you want to stick a fork in your eye? No? Then perhaps this book isn’t for you. It’s funny, and (sometimes alarmingly) frank. It contains an impressive array of synonyms for ‘vagina’ and it’s certainly NSFW. It’s about having a devil womb and a hot knife lodged in a shoulder. It’s about becoming blackly bitter and twisted in infertility, and then slowly finding a way to untwist. It’s part memoir, part dark comedy, wrapped up loosely as a journal full of TMI and quirk. Let me put it this If Helen Fielding and Marian Keyes were to go through IVF, and use Caitlin Moran as a surrogate, this book would be their baby. 'The Underachieving Ovary' is an honest and satisfying must-read for anyone battling endometriosis or infertility. Start reading it today. What readers are "It's real, and raw, and remarkable, with laugh-out-loud, choke-on-your-tea moments." — Melissa Delport "This book is just so brilliantly written. So funny. So sad ... a page turner of a suspense I am in awe. Should this not be an Oprah choice?" — Erica Platter Ready to spit tea out of your nose? Start reading now. ​
