'I enjoyed reading this book. It does a great job of giving a brief overview of different endocrinology disorders in pregnancy, which is an important area of endocrinology that often gets forgotten. The book flows in a very practical fashion, using bullet points and short chapters to keep readers engaged. It can be used as a helpful reference for any practitioner involved in the care of this population.'
