‘Sofie is my stand out favourite voice of our generation. Nobody has mastered the art of hilarity, vulnerability, relatability and razor-sharp precision of observation quite like them. This book is vital in its investigation into intimacy and I’m so pissed it wasn’t released when I was younger. A must read at any age.’
— JAMEELA JAMIL
'Sofie is smashing and remoulding her readers understanding of sex, gender and body politics by deeply penetrating where others just stroke the surface. This book had sex with my brain!'
— SARA PASCOE
'Funny, tender and heartbreaking, Sofie unpacks so much about societal pressure, stereotypes, trauma and finding your way through, with trademark laugh-out-loud hilarity. Being able to treat subjects like this with such care and sensitivity and yet also enormous humour is a rare skill - I couldn’t put the book down!'
— LAURA BATES

— YOTAM OTTOLENGHI
‘It’s brilliant, refreshingly honest, and SO relatable. It's made me reconsider how I view sex, intimacy and my relationship with my own body. I’d choose this book over sex, any day!’
