Synopsis

A guide for teen girls covering healthy sexuality, loving relationships, gender fluidity, sexually transmitted infections (STI), consent, sexual assault, and more.

Chicago Public Library's 2017 Best of the Best Books List for Teen Nonfiction!

Welcoming and inclusive of all self-identified girls, GIRL: Love, Sex, Romance, and Being You is an uncensored, unbiased, and fantastically relevant guide, jam-packed with what you want and need to know. A growing-up guide for the 21st century, GIRL covers what everyone is talking about―healthy sexuality, loving relationships, and gender fluidity, as well as thornier subjects such as STIs, consent, and sexual assault. Plus you’ll find self-reflection quizzes, cool resources, and must-read real-life stories from girls like you!

From the Introduction:

The language around sex and sexuality is so important. There are a lot of words, from anatomy to psychology to culturally evolving words. If you don’t know the definition of a word, don’t let this intimidate you. Many of the chapters start with defining words that are important to that particular topic; if you come across a word that you don’t know that isn’t defined in the book, just do a quick Internet search for it. The language around sexuality, particularly as it applies to identity, is changing quickly. If there are words about identity that feel outdated, replace them with words that resonate for you.
