A fun and informative introduction to puberty, gender, sex, and sexuality with lots of inclusivity and diversity. I like that emotional aspects of adolescence are given as much attention as the physical. It's too text heavy in many places, but puzzle and activity pages and topics like "weird genitals" help maintain a breezy quality. ( )

What a fun book. Wow I wish when we were in school we had an awesome guide such as "Wait What", that explores every obstacles you face as a growing teen from, 1st kiss, masturbation, sex, puberty and coming out.

This book should be provided in every classroom across America for those who are too embarrassed to ask questions.

Highly recommend for that growing teen that you may have, thats curious.

This is my honest opinion.

This book is so good that it is making me angry, which is a reaction I don't even understand. I love it. As a former teenager, I love it and wish I'd had it then. As a mother of a daughter, I love it and can't wait to give it to my kid when she's old enough to need it. As a midwife who works in sexual and reproductive health, I LOVE IT AND WISH I WAS RICH ENOUGH TO HAND IT OUT LIKE CANDY. Every kid needs this book. Probably a lot of adults, too.

It's fun, it's straightforward, it's honest, it's non-judgmental, and it's kind. It's loving and it's there for you, like an older pal who knows what things are like and cares about you and wants to save you some of the tough lessons they learned - but also wants to make sure you understand the truly important things and don't mess things up.

I would love a follow-up by the same team that gets into the nitty-gritty of STIs, contraception, and abortion. I know Isabella Rotman has her STI comic but I don't know if it's geared towards teens. Of course, that's what Scarleteen is for. But I'm a sucker for physical books, and I dream of having a waiting room packed with books just like this for my patients.

Everyone should buy this and read it.

I received a free eARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for my honest review, because I just couldn't wait until the release party on 9/4 to read it. ( )
