🍂 Review: 

" The Toilet Seat " by Latha is not just a book — it’s like sitting down with a brutally honest friend who says all the things we wish we could say out loud.

At first, I picked this up because the title made me giggle (be honest, you did too!). But page by page, it stopped being funny and started feeling real. This book digs up all the hush-hush topics we pretend don’t exist — sex, shame, intimacy, loveless marriages, silent bedrooms, societal double standards — and throws them right in our faces, gently but firmly asking: Why are we still so afraid to talk about this?

What I loved most is how Latha writes like she’s one of us — not judging, not preaching — just opening doors we’ve kept locked for too long. She talks about how women are shamed for wanting the same things men are celebrated for. How we stay quiet to keep peace, even if it means living with unanswered questions and unmet needs. And how a simple, honest conversation with your partner can change everything.

Reading this made me realise how many of us are carrying secrets and shame that don’t even belong to us — they were handed down by ‘what will people say’. The Toilet Seat doesn’t fix everything for you — but it makes you brave enough to ask: What if we didn’t stay silent?

If you’ve ever felt confused, lonely, or judged for wanting more honesty and warmth in your relationship — please read this book. It won’t give you all the answers, but it will give you the courage to ask the right questions — and that’s where real change begins.

I loved this book because it reminded me that it’s okay to lift the lid on uncomfortable truths — and flush away the shame we never deserved to hold.
