Definitely a subject that needs to be talked about more with girls as well as boys. But this book is missing the important Biblical worldview, with which this issue is so closely
associated. One example: when discussing the issue of sex and respect, the authors leave open the option of having sex with a boyfriend, girlfriend, friend, or crush. The book is
cleverly written and often powerful but can’t be recommended.
