Fun and helpful for getting the conversation going about safe and healthy consent in multiple situations.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

This book is a fantastic guide to consent. It's very good at giving the basics in a really easy to understand way. This book should be required reading!

This was a really great beginner guide to consent. I think it would be a wonderful read for teens or anyone just getting involved in sexual activity. I particularly liked the checklist in the back pages for couples to go over together.

A Quick &Easy Guide to Consent, is just as the title implies, a quick and easy guide. The book is a great way to start the conversation about what sexual consent is and looks like within a variety of contexts and relationships. The book is very upfront with trigger warnings for sexual assault and outlines how some topics are discussed highlighting only a specific gender, but that it obviously applies to all genders.This book would be an amazing educational tool for really anyone, but specifically high school-college age individuals. Out Fall 2020.

Isabella Rotman's guide to consent is a fantastic look at what consent is and what it is not. This book should be in every library collection, with a copy in teen and adult. Everyone can learn something here!

While I think consent, the ability to say "no", the space to ask questions to your partner etc are important things, I can't help but feel a little deranged by all this "do this", "do that",  "no, not like that". I mean, is there any space left for spontaneity? Aren't all these rules troubling and a source of anxiety for young people? I personally hate to be told what to do, but there's more. Do we really have to name everything and label and control and judge everything that happens between two people, all the time? This is so much to worry about. Life doesn't work like this in my opinion.

This book is good and necessary, for educational purpose. But while young people do have to know what is legally right or wrong to do to themselves and/or to someone else, they can, also, learn to fix their own personal boundaries without being told what to do all the time, it seems kind of confusing to me.

Idk this all thing seems problematic to me. It might be a cultural or generational issue on my part. I'm open to discussion, there might be things I'm missing.

Thanks anyway to NetGalley and Limerence Press for this advance copy.

This book should be mandatory at schools. Every young man and woman should study this and learn from it. This book is so important and I am so glad that it exists. It’s a touchy subject, that’s often difficult for some people to understand. However, this book provides a fresh and thorough approach. I truly hope that this book gets the recognition it deserves.

I wish I had this book 10+ years ago when dealing with an unhealthy, emotionally abusive relationship. This guide is LITERALLY quick and easy but so full of life-changing information. Even as a woman in a currently healthy relationship, this book gave me important things to consider regarding consent and communication. Absolutely recommended.

<i>A Quick & Easy Guide to Consent</i> is wonderfully informative and important for everyone. I truly believe anyone from the young teens and above can (and should) read this short graphic novel. Maybe you will even want to fill in the quite extensive checklist about what you consent to, for yourself but maybe also to share with your partner.

The guide covers several scenarios and answers questions in the form of conversations between couples and Sarge Yes Means Yes (they/them).

Consent is always good to talk about but if you don't know how you can show them this short graphic novel.

Another useful resource for broaching the sometimes difficult and emotive topic of consent. The medium of a graphic novel is really helpful at making the reader more at ease. The book is full of a wealth of information but it presented in a really easy way to digest without being overwhelming.

LOVED this book!! Consent is especially important the more messed up the world gets, and both teens and adults would benefit from this book. It's also a quick and condensed view of a heavy topic.

A Quick & Easy Guide to Consent should be on every teacher's, librarian's, doctor's, psychologist's and parent's radar. It is a very charming graphic guidebook through consent, a topic not nearly enough discussed. The language used is very accessible even for younger readers, inclusive and respectful, basically, everything you want it to be in this type of a read. However, this does not take away from the complexity of the issues raised in the guide and it still gives each individual subdiscussion enough devoted space. This guide needs to be shared and I would recommend it to anyone.

I got an ARC of this book.

I teach sex ed at the local county jail to the juvenile inmates. To start a class when I have a new group of kids that are a bit more shy and don't know me, I ask them to shout out my favorite C word. They usually stare at me like a deer in the headlights for a few minutes. Then they start shouting every word they aren't allowed to say while in custody. They get so mad when I tell them "no, its consent".

Until now, there has not been an easy reference that I could give them about consent. I had to make my own. I based it around the idea I learned in college in psychology called informed consent. If I had a way with words and the ability to create art, then this book would have come about years ago. This book covers every single thing I try and get my kids to learn, but with slightly different language. This book is a treasure. It is the best resource I have ever seen on consent.

Before I taught sex ed, I thought I knew what consent was. I thought it wasn't that hard of a concept, but when you start talking to teenagers it gets more muddled. Many of the teens I work with use or have used illegal substances, some are in the facility under rape charges. Consent matters so much, but when you start talking to at risk youth everything gets more complicated. How do I explain that you can't consent to a 30 year old man when the girls brag about their baby daddies? How do I explain that using meth makes it so consent is hard or impossible to give when they don't understand that meth changes the way you can think? The book tackles really tough subjects in a way that is direct and understandable.

When I bring up taking naked pictures to teens, I spend the rest of the class explaining that it is child porn. They don't believe me and they try to go out of their way to trip me up. I have had so many of the teens admit to filming themselves with others and sending pics on a regular basis. Yet it is child porn. The book is matter of fact. I can see others reviewing a book like this and saying that talking about child porn is not relevant to teens or consent, but it really really is. This book holds no punches. It covers topics that are so important and so needed for teens (and everyone else too honestly), but is not being talked about. 

My only issue I have with this book is that I don't already have a copy to use in my class. It is a great resource. It goes beyond just basic heteronormtive sex to talk about kink. The teens always want to talk about kink. They are fascinated by it. Kink makes things a bit more muddled for the teens to. Having it be so up front and matter of fact was amazing. I love this book so much.

One of the reasons I like reading 'Quick & Easy Guides' on otherwise taboo themes is because within the cultural context of my country, it can be a tricky space to navigate. Such guides are always a handy tool for anyone working on trainings/events where these themes are discussed.
This one checks all the marks on what I consider to be a good guide. It is thorough, does not leave much space for questions and the scenes set within the explanations aren't too fabricated.
It touches upon consent in various tangents, including contentious issues like the age of consent and the withdrawal of consent.
I only wish such books become essential reading in schools in the time to come.

A well written and thought provoking read that should be on school reading lists across the world, as is something everyone should read.

This book is my favorite of the Quick and Easy Guide Series. The book is exactly as titled, a short and highly informative comic explaining what consent it. The book focuses on learning how to utilize affirmative consent in relationships with a focus on communicating with a partner. The question and answer flow of the book's dialog helps to reinforce that questions are useful in navigating relationships. Romantic relationships are not limited to heterosexual sex, but are open to all activities that may take place with a romantic partner. I love most about the book that consent is not waiting for someone to say no. In addition, the very strong stance taken on having the ability to say no at any time.

I found the book to be a fun, yet serious approach to the topic. The resource list in the back helps the reader to expand on the subject with further reading. In addition, the checklists in the back help the reader to navigate both their own sexuality and places to start conversations with a romantic partner.

I would highly recommend this book to young adults and adults.

This book is so important, so obviously needed and I believe every adult and teen should read it. Too many people talk about the #MeToo movement like it's an era we've passed, done and dusted; Harvey Weinstein is in prison, upskirting is finally recognised as a criminal offence in the UK (thank you, Gina Martin, you are amazing), apparently all is well with the world, back to not so blissful ignorance. In reality, many of us are acutely aware that this is actually not so. Coercion can be very insidious, this book does a good job at highlighting this and I think that will resonate with a lot of readers, particularly women and fems. I appreciate how much the author focuses on the importance of communication and affirmative consent. "Affirmative consent is about making sure that everyone involved in a sexual activity is into it. And when I say "into it", I don't mean okay with it, I mean INTO IT." That part really echoed what I've always felt, but was never unable to put into words or even cohesive thought. Another important thing about this book is that it's gender diverse, which is great. After reading this book I feel better and more confident about what I want and how to express what I don't want in future relationships.

This book should be required reading for every person regardless of gender identity or sexual orientation!! It breaks consent down, destigmatizes conversations about sex, and helps readers begin to address their fears of rejection. The illustrations are also aesthetically pleasing and depict a diverse range of couples.
10 out of 10 would recommend.

I received an ebook copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It's hard to make educating about consent fun and not overbearing and it's harder to make consent seem sexy. This short, breezy graphic novel doesn't totally succeed with those goals but it gets really close. It quickly covers a wide range of topics and sexual practices and how consent relates to all of them. I also really appreciated the major point that good communication and trust are the keys to making it easy to talk about consent (and, not incidentally, to having a satisfying sexual relationship).

Excellent resource for defining and exploring the complexities of sexual consent! This is a very comprehensive overview, and the delivery is fun and all-inclusive of sexual orientations and gender identities. As a future sex educator and therapist, I will be keeping a copy of this guide on hand for use with my clients. Thank you NetGalley for the eARC!
