Review of The Real Truth about Teens and Sex


The Real Truth about Teens and Sex started out promising--Aoife's mom tells her daughter about how she learned about sex in her Irish Catholic home. But it turned into a book review of the book The Real Truth about Teens and Sex, and even after hearing it, I'm not sure I really know "the real truth". I would have liked to hear Aoife and her mom's truth. Instead, Aoife tells us that "teens want to know about sex". But because she's quoting the book, I wonder if that's what she really thinks. I'm not sure I believe her. This would have been much more interesting as a dialogue between mother and daughter instead of a quoting of statements from the book.
