Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life by Emily Nagoski

4.0

Very informative — definitely comes off as science-based while still remaining totally readable for the non-expert. It's also a good balance of general concepts, specific examples, and practical advice, with worksheets and suggestions for actually putting the principles discussed into use. My one irritation is that the author sometimes lets a cute metaphor get in the way of the point. The "sleepy hedgehog" bit was cute, but it didn't seem particularly illustrative of the concept in question, and I honestly found the "emotional One Ring" metaphor clunky and not terribly apt. Overall though, I found it a very useful and enlightening read.
