“'Absolutely essential . . . So funny, hopeful, truthful and needed. A breezy, friendly, quietly revolutionary book every woman, young or old, should read, whilst shouting "Oh my God! I thought that was just me!"' Caitlin Moran'As a repressed Catholic and humourless feminist I won't be reading this filthy book. Even the cover with all sex stuff written all over it makes me feel physically sick. I wouldn't read a book about my own sex life for Christ's sake. I don't even want it in the house. I've put it under a pot at the bottom of the garden' Bridget Christie'This book is a must-read! It blows stereotypes about sex, silence and stigma wide open, unflinchingly confronts the reality of women's complex sexual lives without patronising or preaching, and best of all it will make you laugh yourself silly at the same time!' Laura Bates'I can't express how much I loved this book. And how evangelical I feel about it. I want to rush out and buy copies for every woman, and actually every man, I know. And I want to go back in time and give it to fifteen-year-old me. It's perfect. God do we need this book' Caroline Criado Perez'It's really, really bloody good, a hilarious, moving sexual odyssey' Beth McColl”
