I am honestly pretty scared that so many young women have read this book. I agree with the principles it puts forth - principles of modesty and being careful in relationships - but the manner in which the author's beliefs are delivered is incredibly hurtful. Hayley DiMarco harshly admonishes women who have sexually screwed up in some manner. She teaches that, if you lose your virginity (technical or otherwise), you lose your value. That should NOT be the way we teach our sisters and daughters the importance of abstinence. The most effective teaching is not fear-based but love-inspired (after all, the point of remaining abstinent isn't so much to avoid going to hell, the point is to please God). Teach young women that they will be so much more if they guard themselves sexually, teach them that they are loved and accepted and forgiven even if they make a mistake (because people do make mistakes). Be firm and unwavering, yes, but always with love.

This book reeks of sexism, plain and simple. While there is nothing wrong with encouraging young people to abstain from sex, calling girls who give blowjobs 'prostitutes' and painting men as sex-crazed animals who will lie to you to get what they want (and then presenting this as 'natural') is flat-out wrong. Drinking sewer water is more productive (not to mention less toxic) than reading this garbage.

This book is toxic 🤮, only gets 1/4 star for unintentional hilarity
