Lovely ode to female friendships emphasising one size doesn't fit all (literally and figuratively) when it comes to sex, relationships, virginity and the emotional and physical experience of coming of age Reader Review
Highly readable, with a pace that will keep you flicking through those pages and also might make you see cherries in a new light Reader Review
Explores sex and relationships in a way that is both frank and fresh Reader Review
