This is another fantastic guide from Isabella Rotman. I'd love to hand this out in middle schools and bars alike, not to mention to my patients. The art is warm and welcoming, the tone sounds like a friendly pal, and the subject matter is comprehensive and inclusive.

One quibble: I'd love for

future editions to specifically include PrEP on the checklist in the back! Second quibble: I'd also love a specific mention of medical consent in the beginning when showing non-sexual forms of consent, since so many people don't realize they still have the right to withhold consent in medical situations. Or maybe another book about that? I can consult! Isabella, message me...

I received a free electronic ARC of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

The importance of consent in sexual activity is presented in a mildly humorous but mostly straightforward manner with lots of repetition to drive the point home. Another fine entry in the Quick & Easy Guide series.

Great! Concise guide that is very straightforward to read and understand. Love that the goal is to elevate consensuality to the best possible state, and to heighten the enjoyment of hearing your partner's willing consent. I particularly like the part of the book that talks about receiving No

without taking it super personally. It's very hard to feel rejected, and I think it's something we could all use practice at.

Lively art, important topic marred by college-level language (long sentences with dependent clauses). I would love to see a plain language version! Colorist is credited but book is b&w unfortunately.
