"As a psychologist specializing in teen girls, I will certainly have this book prominently displayed in my office! It educates and clarifies one of the most timely and sensitive topics facing teens today. I am grateful to the authors for covering this massive topic so comprehensively, and in a way that leaves the reader with a greater sense of agency and empowerment. It's a must-have resource for every teen."—Lucie Hemmen, PhD, clinical psychologist, and author of Parenting a Teen Girl
"I wish I'd had this sex-positive, psychologically astute, nonjudgmental, kind, and inclusive guide when I was a teenager! Actually, it probably would have helped me in my twenties as well. This book respects the intelligence of young people to work through complex questions of desire, consent, and safety. A great gift for your daughter, niece, or any other young people in your life."—Rachel Krantz, award-winning journalist, and author of Open
"Teenaged girls today face many challenges, but they hesitate to initiate potentially awkward conversations with the adults in their lives. Often, they don't know enough about their concerns to figure out what information or guidance they need, or how to get it. The Girl's Guide to Relationships, Sexuality, and Consent precisely provides the content, support, wisdom, accessibility, and privacy girls want and need. Thank you, Leah and Geraldine!"—Debra Gilbert Rosenberg, AM, LCSW, psychotherapist for more than thirty-five years, and author of The New Moms' Companion and Motherhood without Guilt
