I received this ARC from NetGalley and Pan Macmillan | Bluebird in exchange for a free and honest review.
This was a mixed reading experience for me. I enjoyed the chapters "lifesaving jugs" and "treasure chests", which tackled breast feeding and plastic surgery (breast enlargement, reduction and reconstruction) respectively. However, I found that the author made some assumptions about social media that seems not be entirely true. With how fast the tech/ social media landscape is developing some dangers are being realised in realtime, therefore, the laws that are being produced are a reflection of this. In addition, explicit content is readily available on Twitter/ X without disclaimers. Also, some arguments made aren't well explored. I was expecting a more science heavy book. Overall, a book that is a conversation starter and may encourage further reading by readers.
This book is a fascinating exploration of a subject that is both humorous and deeply informative. It offers a thoughtful and sensitive look at breasts, blending a variety of perspectives to provide a comprehensive view of the topic. Beyond its engaging exploration of anatomy and culture, the book delves into historical and pioneering aspects of various industries, adding depth and context to the discussion. Whether you're interested in the social and cultural significance or the historical contributions related to the topic, this book is a captivating and enlightening read.
