I sorted through hundreds here on Amazon. There are so many sex books for teens out there. For young adults who read this book, not only will Doing it Right be an important source of information on some of the biggest issues they face today, but even more importantly, Pardes' accessible writing style will read like a candid conversation with the cool big sister they wish they had. What is remarkable about Doing It Right is that Pardes achieves that delicate balance by talking to this age group in a way that is neither condescending nor complicated - she just gives her readers the facts on sex matters in a manner that is down-to-earth, unbiased, and often funny. If you talk to them too simply, they think (rightly so) that you're patronizing them if you talk to them as you would an adult, then their eyes glaze over and all is lost. As a middle school teacher, I know all too well how difficult it can be to strike the right tone in talking to pre-teens and teens. Pardes (dubbed `The Sex Lady' by her students) has a superb "voice" for dishing sex advice to adolescents.
