I've read Emily Nagoski's blog for years, and as a result was well-prepared for the book-length version. While I wasn't surprised, I was gratified. I wish I had received this book as a teenager; it would have been revelatory.

This book delves into the scientific research into women's sexuality. (Hint: we aren't from Venus.) While I would describe it as pragmatic and thoughtful, I would actually take it one step further: this book is KIND.

This book is the antithesis of "five weird tricks to make your sex life better this weekend!" It's not quick tips. It's about understanding how your body works, how morality / media / medical professionals can adversely affect you, and choosing a path that gives you time, space, and opportunity to find comfort and joy within yourself.

Oh, and SCIENCE. Not woo.
