What Does Consent Really Mean? by Thalia Wallis, Joseph Wilkins, Pete Wallis
3.0
Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair and unbiased review.
This is a graphic novel wherein a group of teenagers discuss the importance of consent in a relationship. It reads as such:
This was written for teens, not by teens. And it is really, really obvious.
I think this book can be a fantastic reference, and a great conversation starter. But it is not a book to hand to your teenaged child and say, "Hey, this is important. See you later." Because your kid is going to read it, roll their eyes, and possibly take it to school with them to have a great laugh, and any time there is a conversation about consent, it will continue to be a joke.
This was a fantastic effort, because this is an important conversation. But this was not the way to go about it.
Use it as a reference, not as a guide.
