I read the 2015 version - I'm assuming the newer version has some updates.
I read this also because I saw it on the banned book list this year (2021-2022) and decided to read it to celebrate my right to read. I also got it at my library so I got it for free to try.
That being said it was just ok, I think this will work for some people and it just has a super cover!
The author has a “hello, fellow kids” vibes using lingo that will fade out and using “peen” instead of saying penis just makes a lot of the book ... not very serious as a guide. I mostly dis-like the author's humor and there was a lot of it. Also a lot of just opinions, I thought some were harmful. To paraphrase, people want to have sex with as many people as possible...this also completely ignores ace and demi people.
It's just an ok book, I like the how supportive the author is and feels like a gossipy friend sometimes (in a good way) and does touch on some great issues and observations.
I think this may have been better as a memoir or something.
