About this eBook

A generation gap has emerged between parents and their girls. The mothers and fathers of tomorrow’s women have little idea what their daughters are up to sexually or how they feel about it. Drawing on in-depth interviews with more than seventy young women and a wide range of psychologists, academics, and experts, renowned journalist Peggy Orenstein goes where most others fear to tread, pulling back the curtain on the hidden truths, hard lessons, and important possibilities of girls’ sex lives in the modern world.

Ratings and reviews

The book for the most part was pretty good. It's a great book to read if you want to learn a bit about hookup culture in the United States and the female perspective on the matter. I had a sinking feeling it was going to be a bunch of 3rd wave feminist bullshit but gladly I was wrong.
