This graphic novel discusses the concept of consent from the perspective of a group of teens. The visual format and conversational style make it a quick book to read on your own, or with a friend or family member.
I love the diversity of topics presented. While brief, the book manages to touch on peer pressure, social media and stereotypes, date rape, sexting, porn, and gender differences – each in an authentic and teen appropriate way.
Perhaps my favorite quote for it’s positive message – “Consent is not just the absence of no, it’s an enthusiastic yes!”
If you are a teen looking for a book to make sense of some of the questions you and your friends have, or a parent looking for a book to help you talk with your teen about consent and related topics, this is a great resource.
