This book title is very misleading. It is not for the woman who is just “not in the mood”. It is for older women who are experiencing the effects of menopause or a hysterectomy. It isn’t about mood, it is an explanation of hormonal diminishment. Medical conditions notwithstanding, this book responds to a very small portion of the female population.
If you are in your thirties and wondering why you are not in the mood, this book has no relevance. I suppose if you are older, it is a good thing to find out that some additional testosterone will help you out. Dr. Reichman is reassuring in telling women that it just happens when we get older, and that we are not to believe that “it happens” and you will get over it. She also talks about the effects of prescription drugs, cancer, and inability to talk to our partners and doctors.
It didn’t help me in the least. I am still wondering why I am not in the mood.
