Girls & Sex: Navigating the Complicated New Landscape by Peggy Orenstein

4.0

---

The name of this book may be Girls & Sex, but I encourage all parents to read this one. This generation of teens are inundated with one-sided images of sexuality - all the while dealing with peers who give them incorrect information and parents who give them none. The author takes us on her journey through schools, purity balls, camps - speaking one on one with teens frankly about their sex lives and it's compelling. Girls & Sex is an honest look at teenage sexuality in the 21st century. You will gasp, laugh, and find yourself on the verge of tears when you read her findings - and that's good. God bless Orenstein for blowing the lid off of this taboo subject. Great read!
