hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I wish this book had existed when I was 13-15 (the advised age rating according to Amazon). There is so much information in this book that would have been incredibly helpful to me at that age and later on in my teens.
That said, I have learnt these things the hard way, means I didn't learn anything from this book personally. But then, I'm not the target audience for this book.
Should I ever find myself in a situation to recommend a book on this topic to someone of the target age group (or a parent of), I will definitely be including this book as a starting point.

This is an excellent beginners guide. I would have benefitted tremendously if I read it when I was in middle school or high school. I was not the target audience of this book however, Evans did an astounding job by giving an introduction to all things taboo surrounding sex.
