One of the most significant features of this accessible, even-handed, and authoritative introduction to sex is the calm, measured, and reassuring tone consistent throughout. . . . realistic, current, and helpful advice.
—Booklist (starred review)
The information is straightforward and fact based, breaking down complicated and hot-button topics for teens while not shying away from modern realities. . . . There are also many different body types and genders depicted in the illustrations, adding refreshing diversity to the overall book. . . . A solid addition to upper-middle school collections and high school collections needing new reads on sexual health written for teens.
—School Library Journal
Offer[s] important information about sex and relationships in approachable, bite-size chapters. . . . thoughtfully presented content is broken up with eye-catching headings; Latham’s lively, vibrant, doodle-like illustrations; and quotes from experts, young people, and parents of teens. . . . While this book can be read cover-to-cover, it will work equally well for those who choose to focus on the sections they find most relevant. Informative, inclusive, and supportive.
—Kirkus Reviews
Surprisingly comprehensive. . . . a conversational tone that avoids any sort of fake chumminess and respectfully aims to inform, not persuade. . . . Language is inclusive and intentional, and there is also a section devoted to sex for varying abilities. . . . this will be a valuable resource to have on the shelf.
