girls — written by teens for teens. Check it out: not just a book about sex, but a look at girl culture by youth themselves. No stuffy school textbook. No nosey adults.

They also interviewed frontline health experts to get solid facts about the stuff young women have to deal with. Everything has been vetted by doctors, and the book is endorsed by health professionals, so you know you’re getting good info. There’s also a section at the back with places you can contact to find out more. |
