From the start, Emily Nagoski’s writing style is clear and easy to follow. The casual, conversational tone may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but I enjoyed it. This style seemed perfectly suited for communicating science to a general audience in an engaging manner. The stories and recurring metaphors also kept me interested through the information-packed chapters. The only thing that annoyed me was the constant repetition of key concepts, but I understand that this was simply to emphasise these points.
