The V-Word: True Stories About First-Time Sex

197 pp. | Simon Pulse/Beyond Words | February, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-1-58270-590-3 $19.99 | Paper ISBN 978-1-58270-521-7 $10.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4814-2729-6
(4) YA This essay collection includes both teen erotica and feminist essays on sexual empowerment. While obviously a tough sell for some environments, the book's only real flaw is its unevenness in tone. As a whole, stories let teens see sex for whatever it may be for them (pleasurable or confusing, passionless or loving). Extensive back matter features resources (and reassurance) for parents, further reading, and websites.
