This important book has become a staple in my clinical supervision work as well as a recommendation for parents. The content is easily communicated and approachable. Fantastic book!

This needs quite a bit of editing and would benefit from being lengthened or perhaps published as a series rather than one piece but overall offers some insight that I think educators and parents need to hear. None of the content is particularly groundbreaking or new but for parents and educators who have no experience with teaching kids/students about creating a culture of consent, this is a good book to begin with.

I really liked the author’s message and what they were trying to do, but the book itself is all over the place. The organization style of the chapters is inconsistent and the summary points after each chapter don’t necessarily align with the actual focus. The practical suggestions aren’t well-integrated into the material and feel like an afterthought that follows the author’s semi-related monologue summarizing general information. The book also spent a lot more time outlining what’s wrong and why, but didn’t dedicate the same effort or research to describing the better alternatives. Overall, the author just seems confused as to the purpose of the book. As a result, it’s not really helpful as a guide for parents, educators, or for people who want to learn about the topics in general.

I think this has potential to be a good book, but would need some very heavy editing.
