While I am frustrated with what our culture of abstinence teaching which science and research proves doesn't work, this book is a good start to change the conversation for parents, schools, and teens.

Every girl and her parents should read this. Every parent of a boy should read this. Everyone should read this.

What you think you know about families is a myth. The 1950s nuclear family was never the norm, but the ideal America wanted to portrayed for economic and security after WWII.

If we focus on family with actually giving an governmental support even though the government created the "new norm" of family, the world will be a better place - always.

Very good, focusing on culture, her own life and loneliness.

Surprised by how much I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a very good retelling, set in modern day that did not lose the original feel of the book.

Tennessee Williams, John Cheever, Raymond Carver, John Barryman, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald - Men who wrote and fought demons.
