They also interviewed frontline health experts to get solid facts about the stuff young women have to deal with. It's a great mix of real-life examples and life-saving info. Topics include: Relationships Periods Sex Birth control Pregnancy Sexually Transmitted Infections / AIDS Sexual assault. Everything has been vetted by doctors, and the book is endorsed by health professionals, so you know you re getting good info.
