A great way to explain consent in a clear and fun graphic novel. It should be required reading for all.

I swayed between a 3 and 4 star rating for this book. While it is very informative and covers a wide range of topics in regards to consent I feel that younger people could find the tone a little patronising. A 3.5 star read for me.

As the title says, this is a quick and easy guide to sexual consent. I appreciated that the book focuses on affirmative consent while touching on 'no means no' as basic consent. I wish the book had the map of how the age of consent varies across the US printed in colour. As it was in greyscale, I honestly had a hard time seeing the difference between the states. As a Canadian looking to recommend books to other Canadians, I was happy to see that Canada's age of consent law was explicitly stated.

Excellent.
Explains the topic in a short and easy to understand way. The graphics are great too. I love how this book makes a complex topic fun to read and boils various points down to a few very simple concepts.
Highly recommend this to young readers as well as adults.

This is definitely a book that you could read in a day. It’s such an amazing concept to really explain consent and affirmative consent especially. I really feel like my high school students could use it. There’s a lot of information in there about how to be a good partner as well as conversations around not texting certain vulnerable information. I feel like it was extremely inclusive and everyone can find themselves in that book and feel seen. I highly recommend it.

LOVED this book!! Consent is especially important the more messed up the world gets, and both teens and adults would benefit from this book. It's also a quick and condensed view of a heavy topic.

I loved this inclusive, informative and well-explained graphic-novel type guide to consent, and strongly believe a copy should be given to everyone on the planet! Consent is such an important topic with wide-reaching ramifications but is one that has sorely been neglected in society and in school curriculums, I loved the illustrations in this book, the diversity (of genders, sexualities, bodies, and proclivities), the acknowledgement that there are many different ways of having '"sex", and the clear and matter of fact way that everything was explained. If you are a parent, then please buy a copy for your child and if you're an adult, please get it to make sure you know exactly what consent is.
