Isn't stiff at all! Plenty of life in here...
This book was a recommendation and it did live up to the expectations already set by an avid reader. A very fresh and quirky take on what could have been a sensitive and taboo subject. Definitely recommend it.

Super. Worth every page.
Entertaining. Confronting. I have dealt with many 'bodies' over the years, this is a different perspective to what I ever had.
