My Take on the Book
As a parent of girls I am a bit freaked out over the idea of having "the talk" with my daughters, as I don't really know where to start. This book is an amazingly straight forward frank discussion with his readers (and his daughter) about sexual health. I actually reached out to the author to ask him how old was old enough to share this book ad its' contents with children. He stated that it was his intent to share this with a 14 year-old, but that he knew that every family was different. He also stated that he wrote this with the intent to provide families with talking points, and boy does he. This book gives way more information than I ever received as a teenager and even though this book is short, it is poignant and really will open a teens eyes to the world around them and will demystify sex and sexual health. This was a great book that I would highly recommend to all!
