Tell us about sexual health/wellness books you have loved/loathed!

Attention VPers: We need your help!

We're trying to collect a list of books about sexual health/wellness that are aimed at a teenage (or even pre-teen) audience. Were there any books of that nature that you read as a (pre-)teen and loved/liked/loathed? If not, feel free to tell us about that, too... or describe to us the book you would have liked to have read. 

Otherwise, please leave us a comment (or shoot us an email if you prefer) with as much of the following information as you can recall:

1. Title


2. Author


3. Your age when you read it


4. How you accessed the book (Was it given to you by a parent or educator? Did you find it in the public/school library? Did you have to sneak to buy or borrow it?)


5. Your thoughts about the book -- please feel free to be as detailed as you like. We'd love to hear specifically about the aspects of the book you liked or disliked, and why you liked/disliked those things. Some examples of things we'd like to know about include:

• the accuracy/balance of the information (was anything missing, overemphasized, or just plain wrong?)
• the book's tone/voice/style (was it patronizing? just right? too technical? etc.)
• who you think the target audience is
• whether you thought the presentation of the information was good and age-appropriate
• whether there were any attitudes/implications in the book that you found troubling

Anything you want to tell us is good, though!  Thanks in advance for your help. :)

"It's Perfectly Normal" was the GREATEST book ever. So good.
