I've picked up this book from my local library after it was recommended to me over and over again.

I'm about a quarter in, and honestly? I find the writing style very uningaging. I get that it's supposed to be someone's diary, but it's basically 100% tell instead of show. Tell, then tell again in case you hadn't figured it out the first time.

For example, at some point the narrator mentions that a thousand dollars will buy you about two weeks worth of food. Then goes on explaining how food prices are insane, always going up, never down, how people are complaining about it, etc... it almost reads like YA fiction.

The worldbuilding itself is thoughtful and intelligent, but I find it very difficult to feel engaged with the delivery and feel like I'm being spoon fed every detail of the narrator's world, rather than slowly discovering it and drawing my own conclusions.

I keep seeing people here raving about this author. Am I missing something? Does it get better?

I got two LEEPs over the winter for CIN 3, less than two months apart. It's been about 6 months since the first procedure, and for every single cycle since, I've started spotting brown colored blood 10 to 14 days before the start of my actual period.

At first I just thought it was the normal healing process, but it's not getting any better. Plus, my period have become horribly painful.

Has this happened to anyone else? What is the cause? Will my period go back to normal?
